Is there such a thing as American honor, or is honor simply
incompatible with modern liberal democracy and capitalism?
Tocqueville's Democracy in America is particularly well suited as a
means of exploring these questions. Through an in-depth analysis of
Tocqueville's views on aristocratic versus American democratic
honor, this book explores what honor might mean in the modern
Western context. Its aim is to strengthen citizens' moral
obligations and understandings of community in the face of forces
within democracy and capitalism that naturally erode these binding
and stabilizing influences. With a focus on discovering a uniquely
American honor, this book covers Tocqueville's views on American
religion, family and gender roles, politics, relations with Native
Americans, white southerners and slavery, and the military. It
explores how these views can help us form a uniquely American honor
code, one that re-envisions and incorporates suitable aristocratic
elements within a modern democratic society and a capitalistic
economy.
