This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of Tocqueville's life, work and impact based on the current state of historical, philosophical and social science research. This volume is dedicated to an extremely multifaceted author who is still underestimated in many respects. It offers a compact and systematic presentation of various aspects of Tocqueville's thought using a topical approach and taking into account all of his writings. Readers can rapidly and efficiently obtain substantiated information on Tocqueville's theories, central concepts and his most significant influences. Concurrently, the handbook serves as a reference for understanding Tocqueville's relationship to contemporary debates and subject areas. It also provides useful information for conceptualising teaching and research projects. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

Der zweite Band der Reihe ?Politisches Denken in Europa“ fuehrt die Erkundungen zum politischen Realismus in drei Schluesselbereichen fort: erstens die rezeptionsgeschichtliche Auseinandersetzung mit zentralen Denkern, zweitens die geopolitische Anwendung des Realismus auf aktuelle Konflikte wie den Ukrainekrieg und drittens die kritische Reflexion zeitgenoessischer politischer Theorien. Der Sammelband hinterfragt die ethischen und politischen Implikationen realistischer Denkweisen und beleuchtet ihre fortwaehrende Brisanz in einer Welt, die von Machtkaempfen, normativem Verfallsverdacht und einer Epoche heranreifender Krisen auf globaler Ebene gepraegt ist.

A renowned scholar traces the evolution of modern political philosophy.The Rise and Fall of Rational Control is a bold interpretation of centuries of intellectual revolutions. Based on Harvey C. Mansfield's legendary Harvard course, taught for decades to rapt classrooms, this volume is both a grand work of ideas and an elucidating reflection on liberalism, its eclipse, and the possibility of renewal.Mansfield locates the birth of modern political philosophy in the work of Niccolo Machiavelli, the first to assert that the objective of politics is not to achieve wishful ideals of justice or virtue-as the ancients had it-but to manipulate the brute facts of the world in service of interests. Here rational control, free from the order of gods or God, is the key to achieving the modern order, which can liberate humans from slavery and conflict. Hobbes and Locke later develop Machiavelli's modern idea, laying foundations for liberalism. Then comes the first crisis in the form of Rousseau, who introduces historical change into the very idea of reason, which itself is said to evolve. After Rousseau, history takes center stage, as witnessed in Kant, Marx, and Hegel. The second crisis of modernity arrives with Nietzsche, who casts doubt on reason itself. Ever since, political thought has been stranded in the desert of postmodernism, where Machiavelli's necessities are replaced by faded subjectivity.Tracing the rise and fall of rational control, Mansfield asks where we go from here. Can we progress beyond our unease with what is modern, or should we aim to return somehow to what came before?
