«La democracia en América, 2» is Alexis de Tocqueville's essay on political philosophy, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (440 pages).
The nine-month journey Alexis de Tocqueville made through the United States in 1831 inspired this two-volume work. This second volume, published in 1840, analyzes how democracy influences the intellectual life, feelings and customs of Americans, and offers a characterization of egalitarian civilization.
It is the second volume of «De la Démocratie en Amérique», originally published in 1840; this 2004 edition includes the translation by Dolores Sánchez de Aleu.
It is a work for readers of political essays, history and social philosophy, interested in the classics of democratic thought.
Alexis Charles Henri Clérel, comte de Tocqueville, was a French diplomat, political philosopher and historian. He is best known for his works Democracy in America and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). In both, he analyzed the living standards and social conditions of individuals as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. Democracy in America was published after Tocqueville's travels in the United States and is today considered an early work of sociology and political science.
