A Freedom Freed from Politics
The essay focuses on Simone Weil. During the interwar years, her political thought and actions pursued the defence of freedom. This choice is testified by her critique of Stalinism and totalitarianism, her subsequent involvement in the Spanish Civil War on the side of the anarchists, and finally her approval of entering the war against the Nazis and supporting the French Resistance’s efforts. Besides, her reflections on Europe, on federalism and …
National Character in De la démocratie en Amérique
The article deals with the national character in relation to Tocqueville and his Démocratie en Amérique. Tocqueville lives in a cultural environment in which numerous authors use the notion of character, but he appears much more aware than them of the problems connected to it. The hypothesis is that the theory of national characters can highlight elements present in Tocqueville’s reflections that have so far been left in the background or remaine…
Crowd and nation. Character in the age of race

Gustave de Beaumont was clearly a counter voice within the debate about national characters that engaged nineteenth-century French political thought. This was not the first time that Beaumont set himself apart for the originality of his convictions. For instance, on the Irish question, he did not take Ireland's part against En…
Introduction
IntroductionThe long life of characters Michela Nacci (bio) Ubiquitous and elusive: this is how the theory of national characters appears in nineteenth-century French political thought. One could also add “mysterious”. I arrived at national characters in fact—as you can read in my article featured in this issue—via a mystery that Gustave de Beaumont left unsolved in his L'Irlande.1 Indeed, it was the wish to explain it that propelled me to explor…
