| Description: | PPE-238-02 = PSC-230-01 : Tocqueville and the Idea of Fraternity in America. Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America, written after a year-long trip around America taken in his 20s, is arguably the most important book on democracy and the most important book on America. He identifies the American tradition of forming associations as its saving grace. In addition to studying Tocqueville's travelogue, the class will explore contemporary applications of his ideas of community (and community's failure). How does life in the contemporary world, including our addiction to social media, change the way we associate with others? And what would Tocqueville say about fraternities-can they help revitalize community? |
