A conference presented by Pierre Gouirand this Tuesday, September 25, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Conference Hall of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMAC). “Liberty is the first of my passions,” wrote Alexis de Tocqueville. He would spend his life defending it.
His political ideas, his political career, the essence of his thought…
A transversal reading of Tocqueville allowed for highlighting the elements he considered essential for the proper functioning and maintenance of a democratic regime.
From the beginning of his career, he perceived the major political upheavals that would animate the world and understood that the sentiment of equality among men would prevail in France and that a Republic would be established.
