211: Tocqueville - Life is neither a pleasure nor a sorrow
About this episode
Featured text: "Tocqueville's Faith" — Alexis de Tocqueville
Faith in What? Faith in Who? In this episode, we read Robert J. Delahunty's article about Alex de Tocqueville's faith. Tocqueville is a remarkable study in Enlightenment faith because he straddles the line between Christianity and the Enlightenment: Law and religion, belief and despair that concerns the relationships between Church and State in the United States and France.
