Demokratik Despotizm - Kırmızı Kedi Klasikler

Democratic Despotism - Red Cat Classics Book Description Alexis de Tocqueville is a political scientist who argues that revolutions are not breaks or ruptures, but rather moments in a continuity that result in the centralization of the state and all social classes becoming dependent on the state. He is a politician who wrote the constitution of the Second Republic after the 1848 Revolution, but completely withdrew from political life after Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, whom he saw as an "idiot", was first elected president and then staged a coup. He is one of the important links of liberal politics as well as a chain of sociologists, as much as Comte, Marx and Weber. In this final chapter of his four-volume work, Democracy in America, he demonstrates that the term democratic despotism is not an oxymoron at all. "When all men are alike, it would be easy to form a single government with unlimited power; instincts will suffice. But in the same conditions, intelligence, science and art will be required of men to organize and protect the subordinate forces, to create free institutions capable of combating tyranny without overthrowing the order, while the citizens are independent and individually powerless." ."
