  • 作者简介
  • 作者阿历克西·德·托克维尔(Alexis de Tocqueville)是法国的外交家,政治思想家和历史学家。托克维尔的代表作是1835年问世的《论美国的民主》第一卷,第二卷出版于1840年,以及1856年出版的《旧制度与大革命》。1839年起任众议院议员,二月革命后参与第二共和国宪法的制订,并在1849年6至10月担任外交部长。他因反对1851年12月的路易·拿破仑政变而一度入狱。路易·波拿巴的1851年12月政变和第二帝国专制政府的建立令他悲观失望,迫使他成为“国内流亡者”。

    Alexis de Tocqueville was a French diplomat, political scientist and historian. He was best known for his works Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes, 1835 and 1840) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). Since 1839, he served as a member of the House of Representatives. After the February 1848 Revolution, he participated in drafting of the new Constitution of the Second Republic (1848–1851), and once served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from June to October 1849. Opposing to Louis Napoléon Bonaparte's 2 December 1851 coup, he was detained. The December 1851 coup and the establishment of the Second Empire’s authoritarian regime made him pessimistic and disappointed, forcing him to become a “domestic exile”.
