法国当代著名政治哲学家皮埃尔·马南(Pierre Manent)的《民主的本性——托克维尔的政治哲学》堪称研究托克维尔的众多著作中最精彩者之一。马南深受美国政治哲学家施特劳斯的影响,在这本薄薄的却很有分量的小书里,读者可以领略到马南“解经”的深厚功力,以及他以古典政治和基督教为参照全面审视现代性的宏阔视野。 The “democratic nature of Tocqueville’s political philosophy” by Pierre Manent, the famous French contemporary political philosopher, is one of the best studied in many of Tocqueville’s writings. Ma Nan was influenced by the American political philosopher Strauss. In this thin but significant book, readers can appreciate the deep skill of Mannan’s “Scripture Scriptures” Politics and Christianity as a reference to a broad perspective of modernity.
