Resumo
The last thirty years have witnessed a renewed interest in the civic -republican
thought within Western political philosophy. The contributions of the Republican ideas
are especially evoked in response to the debate between liberals and community that
has been caught in recent decades. The notion of virtue reflects well the political
thought of Alexis de Tocqueville who, marked by a combination of republican, liberal
and communitarian ideas, has been rediscovered and become a rich source of
inspiration for scholars who care about the future of democracy. From his observations
on the United States of the early 1830s America, Tocqueville elaborates his original
vision of the conditions of possibility of a political community in which equality and
freedom tend to convergence. The democratic state, according to the author, only
exists through the effort of balance between these two principles in the experience of
citizenship. Tocqueville proposes a new political science that aims to guide the leaders
of society in the task of educating citizens able to fight trends that threaten the survival
of democracy. In its strategy to restore democratic customs of men, Tocqueville begins
by welcoming a moral doctrine that preserves the motivational seal in the interest of
the individual while expanding your perspective and your goals. The process of
citizenship formation de Tocqueville advances encouraging men to counter their
individualistic tendencies through political participation and the formation of opposing
habits, acquire the taste for freedom. For Tocqueville, the institutions in general,
religion, and political engagement play the political role of forging citizens and
engender healthy cultural policy. If the irresistible march of equality that characterizes
the new era is natural, the hope of Tocqueville is the guarantee of freedom through
political art
