Before being declared heretical in 1713, Jansenism was a Catholic
movement focused on such central issues as original sin and
predestination. In this engaging book, David Selby explores how the
Jansenist tradition shaped Alexis de Tocqueville's life and works
and argues that once that connection is understood, we can apply
Tocqueville's political thought in new and surprising ways. Moving
from the historical sociology of Jansenism in seventeenth- and
eighteenth-century France to contemporary debates over the human
right to education, the role of religion in democracy, and the
nature of political freedom, Selby brings Tocqueville out of the
past and makes him relevant to the present, revealing that there is
still much to learn from this great theorist of democracy.
