| Sumario: | This article explores Tocqueville's political thought from a perspective that assesses how despotism eclipses republican emblems, preventing modern democracy from transforming social reality. Bearing this tension in mind, it explores to what extent political freedom can repair the anomalies produced by the equality of conditions. In this sense, reconstructing the main characteristics by which Tocqueville's political liberalism differs from economic liberalism, we will proceed to demonstrate how the conception of the new democratic despotism formulated by the French author occurs in the contemporary environment as a postmodern possibility by virtue of transcending tradition. |
