The Fragility of Freedom: Tocqueville on Religion, Democracy, and the American Future
Joshua Mitchell
Though Tocqueville is the main subject, this book also examines Augustine, Hobbes, Rousseau, Hegel and Nietzsche. It offers an interpretation of Tocqueville as a moral historian, concerned less with history as an objective record than as a disclosure of the trajectory of the human spirit.
