To attempt to outline how Tocqueville's thought was formed -by which questions, with what intellectual material-we may employ two very different perspectives. The more classic one is to try to reconstruct the list of writers and works which most influenced the future author of Democracy in America, from Pascal and Montesquieu to Madame de Staël and Guizot. The other consists in starting from the problems which he sought to resolve and which led him, quite young, to the famous "Voyage." The two approaches are not, however, incompatible, and even overlap to the extent that a great mind may find elements of the questions he poses of his time in the books of his predecessors
