Tracing the “true liberalism”
In reaction to diagnoses of a “crisis of liberalism,” scholars are actively engaged in revising our understanding of the tradition's history. This article explores an alternative account of the liberal past that appeared at a parallel moment of “crisis”: the Nobel Laureate economist F.A. Hayek's interwar typology of two liberalisms, true and false. It argues that Hayek mobilized Alexis de Tocqueville as one representative of the “true liberal tra…
Liberal (Anti) Democracy
Freedom and Regeneration in Revolutionary France
Georges Sorel’s Tocqueville
Alexis de Tocqueville’s intellectual legacy has been characterized in terms of an arc: instant celebrity upon the publication of Democracy in America followed by waning influence after his death and belated rediscovery in the latter half of the twentieth century. Yet this article argues that Tocqueville’s ideas remained influential in the fin-de-siècle writings of the syndicalist Georges Sorel. It explores the curious matter of how a liberal fame…
The politics of an inclusive parliament
Tocqueville’s Politics of Grandeur
In his defenses of empire, Alexis de Tocqueville emphasized the need to achieve grandeur for France, and his writings on Algeria have shaped our understanding of his political career. In pursuing empire abroad as a remedy for weak politics at home, scholars maintain that Tocqueville abandoned the participatory politics of Democracy in America. This essay argues, however, that the focus on Tocqueville’s international turn has obscured his interest…
Fénelon and the political summum malum of self-love
In The Political Philosophy of Fénelon, Ryan Hanley argues that Fénelon was a realist who aimed to elevate and educate self-love—rather than resist it—in order to avoid tyranny. This roundtable article examines two of Fenelon’s arguments for how self-love, well-directed, could circumvent a king’s absolutist and tyrannical inclinations: 1) the king’s need to be loved and to love in turn, and 2) the relationship between faith and politics / church …
Not more democratic, but more moral
Tocqueville has been portrayed as a "strange liberal" for his singular defenses of individual liberty. This essay highlights an overlooked instance of Tocqueville's distinctiveness by analyzing his thoughts on suffrage, which placed him at odds with his French liberal contemporaries. It uncovers Tocqueville's attitude toward universal suffrage in America and his critiques of a capacitarian suffrage in France. I argue that Tocqueville articulated …
Usurpation and “The Social” in Benjamin Constant's Commentaire
As part of Benjamin Constant's academic “revival,” scholars have revisited the political and religious elements of his thought, but conclude that he remained uninterested in the nineteenth century's major social and economic questions. This article examines Constant's response to what would later become known as “the social question” in his Commentary on Filangieri's Work , and argues that his claims about poverty and its alleviation highlight ce…
The Idea of Rights
Tocqueville's writings on pauperism have gained renewed attention in the last decade. Scholars study hisMemoir on Pauperism(1835) to contextualize his thought in the nineteenth century, to question the extent of his liberalism, or to locate his policy solutions on a spectrum from private charity to state welfare. Yet Tocqueville's response to pauperism must be interpreted in light of “the social question,” or the problem of how to alleviate not o…
Liberty and Industry
Recent scholarship on liberal exclusion focuses on ways in which liberal norms and standards of rationality disqualify certain persons from the rights of civic membership. Few works, however, move beyond philosophical anthropology in considering the basis of such exclusions. This article examines the economic concerns that frame citizenship and political membership in two strands of modern liberal thought: the work of John Locke and John Stuart M…
