Скачать или смотреть Tocqueville's American Virtue by Harvey C. Mansfield

Pope Lecture Fall 2008
What is "self-interest well understood," the virtue Tocqueville finds that Americans claim for themselves? Can all good motives be reduced to self-interest? What prevents Americans from being selfish? How do they sustain their political liberty? Dr. Harvey C. Mansfield, Jr. engages with these questions, drawing answers from Tocqueville's writings.

Dr. Mansfield is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Government at Harvard University. He has written on Edmund Burke, Machiavelli, American Constitutional government and translated Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America. Dr. Mansfield has held Guggenheim and NEH Fellowships, has won numerous awards for his teaching and, in 2004, accepted a National Humanities Medal from President Bush.
