Amerika'da Demokrasi

Alexis de Tocqueville says about his book, "I must confess that I have seen more in America than in America." There he adds that democracy searches for its own image, tendencies, character, prejudices and passions. Democracy in America ranks first among Tocqueville's works, which attracted a lot of attention when it was published in the first half of the 19th century, was then forgotten and was rediscovered in the 1960s. This book is not just the work of an extraordinary political observer. It is also a major work of political philosophy and a classic of sociology. It helps to understand and answer the questions that modern democracy constantly asks itself. By examining the responses given in America to issues such as equality of conditions, the idea of freedom and religion, the relations between masters and servants, decentralization and centralism, Tocqueville draws the framework of the philosophy of democracy that is still valid today. It sheds light on today's urgent questions by showing the despotic tendencies that flourish within democracy itself and the democratic obstacles created against them.
