Alexis de Tocqueville is recognized as one of the most important
nineteenth-century historians. In this perceptive study, Harvey
Mitchell examines Tocqueville's works, in particular Souvenirs of
1848 and his voluminous correspondence, to shed new light on
Tocqueville's philosophy of history. Professor Mitchell exposes the
tensions which Tocqueville perceived between determined actions and
choice, continuity and change, asking what happens to individual
liberty if it is impossible to make a clean break with the past,
and if past developments continue to influence the future.
Professor Mitchell draws on the full range of Tocqueville's
writings to find in them a unity of thought and a deep involvement
with the philosophical questions raised by historical continuity
and change.
