The relationship between democracy and religion is as important today as it
was in Alexis de Tbcqueville3s time. Tocqueville, De?nocracy, and Religion is a
ground-breaking study of the views of the greatest theorist of democracy writing
about one of our most pressing issues. Alan S. Kahan, a leading Tbcqueville
scholar, shows how Tocqueville s analysis of religion is simultaneously deeply
rooted in his thoughts on nineteenth-century France andAmerica and
pertinent to us today.
Tbcqueville thought that the role of religion was to provide checks and balances
for democracy in the spiritual realm, just as secular forces should provide them in
the political realm. He believed that in the long run secular checks and balances
were dependent on the success of spiritual ones. Kahan examines how Tbcqueville
thought religion had succeeded in checking and balancing democracy in America,
and failed in France, as well as describing Tocqueville s less well-known analyses
of religion in Ireland and England, and his perspective on Islam and Hinduism.
He shows howTocqueville’s ‘post-secular5 account of religion can help us come
to terms with religion in contemporary societies around the world.
More than a study of Tbcqueville on religion in democratic society, this volume
offers a re-interpretation of Tocqueville as a moralist and a student of human
nature in democratic society; a thinker whose new political science was in the
service of a new moral scien ce aimed at encouraging democratic people to attain
greatness as human beings. Tocqueville, Democracy, and Religion gives us a new
Tocqueville for the twenty-first century.
