Alexis de Tocqueville est célèbre pour ses analyses de la Révolution française, de la démocratie américaine et de l'évolution des démocraties occidentales en général. Il défend la liberté individuelle et l'égalité politique. Exprimant parfois des réserves sur l'évolution possible de la démocratie vers une dictature de la majorité au nom de l'égalité, et rejetant à ce titre nettement toute orientation socialiste, il est l'une des plus grandes références de la philosophie politique libérale. Théoricien du colonialisme, légitimant l'expansion française en Afrique du Nord (1841-1846), il fustige néanmoins la barbarie des armées françaises en Afrique, s'oppose à l'application du régime militaire en Algérie, et défend parmi les premiers l'abolition de l'esclavage dans les colonies. Parallèlement, Tocqueville refuse les considérations de la thèse de son ami Joseph Arthur de Gobineau (Essai sur l'inégalité des races humaines). Retrouvez dans ce livre audio 6 grands textes emblématiques et fondateurs de la pensée politique de Tocqueville. Sélection de textes : Lecture de Machiavel ; Une certaine conception du politique : le primat de la liberté, lettres à Marie et à Edouard ; Contre le coup d'Etat et la tyrannie ; Les valeurs universelles, humanisme, droits de l'homme ; Contre l'esclavage ; Contre le génocide des Indiens d'Amérique.
