The Rise of the Imperial Self establishes a geneaology of
aristocracy and places America firmly within an aristocratic
tradition originally articulated by St. Augustine, but adapted to
American society by Alexis de Tocqueville. Ronald W. Dworkin then
traces the evolution of American culture from Tocqueville's
America, when American aristocracy was defined by a love of
something beyond the self to today's preoccupation with
individuality, self-expression, autonomy, and self-esteem--the
"imperial self."
