Literature/Art/Architecture
摘要
Tocqueville has relatively little to say about literature, art, and architecture, and when he mentions these topics, it is mainly to show the influence of the democratization of society on these expressions of humanity. Particularly relevant in this context are Chaps. 9 to 21 of the first part of the second volume of the Démocratie. It should be noted that this first part deals with the influence of democracy on the intellectual movement in America, so Tocqueville apparently considers literature, art and architecture primarily in relation to the intellect rather than to the emotions.
