Consideraciones sobre la crítica de A. de Tocqueville al individualismo democrático

Abstract

Prevailing interpretations assume that  the main issue dealt with by Tocqueville in Democraq in America is that of the tension between Equality and Freedom. The present article suggests that there is another much more important issue, which has been fiequently ignored: that of the democratic subject. In dealing with this, Tocqueville criticises the ilusions of individualism and drafts the main lines of a democuatic anthuoponomy.
