This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of Tocqueville's life, work and impact based on the current state of historical, philosophical and social science research. This volume is dedicated to an extremely multifaceted author who is still underestimated in many respects. It offers a compact and systematic presentation of various aspects of Tocqueville’s thought using a topical approach and taking into account all of his writings. Readers can rapidly and efficiently obtain substantiated information on Tocqueville's theories, central concepts and his most significant influences. Concurrently, the handbook serves as a reference for understanding Tocqueville's relationship to contemporary debates and subject areas. It also provides useful information for conceptualising teaching and research projects.

The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
