Abstract
When it was originally published in 1980, Gauchet’s essay provided an innovative application of Tocqueville to the political world of the late twentieth century. Appearing now for the first time in a complete English translation, Gauchet’s reading of Democracy in America still offers a strikingly contemporary portrait of social conflict and personal identity in an age of egalitarianism.
