O presente artigo procura trazer reflexões acerca das concepções sobre a modernidade em três dos maiores clássicos da sociologia, Émile Durkheim, Max Weber e Alexis de Tocqueville. A proposta é fornecer uma visão introdutória sobre a abordagem sociológica e os diagnósticos que esses autores ofereceram acerca da experiência moderna. Para isso, busco introduzir o leitor à discussão a partir do pensamento do historiador Reinhart Koseleck sobre a temporalidade moderna, para a partir desta lente tentar lançar luz às concepções acerca do mundo moderno nos três autores clássicos mencionados

A partir da obra Democracia na América, de Aléxis de Tocqueville (2005), e dos estudos de Max Weber (2004) acerca das religiões, este trabalho analisa a inter-relação entre a ética do puritanismo, a racionalidade, as ideias de liberdade e igualdade. O que nos interessa é verificar sua importância para o estabelecimento do capitalismo ocidental moderno bem como para a democracia liberal nos Estados Unidos.

Sociological Discourse

Although Analytical Sociology is not often used in the mainstream Sociology, its history is however, traceable to the classical works of scholars such as Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Alexis de Tocqueville as well as contemporary sociological thinkers like Talcott Parsons and Robert Merton, among others. This paper provides a contemporary argument for the application of mechanistic explanation in the overall understanding of Analytical Sociology using relevant and practical examples. In the course of this, attention has been paid to the concept of explanation and its various types in a sociological discourse. This paper therefore argues that social reality can significantly be understood only when explanations are systematic and detailed in content and context. The conclusion is that analytical sociology has the capacity to explain the actions of social actors within the social environment beyond some social doubts, even though, not all situations, can be sufficiently explained with the strategy.

Je n'ai qu'une seule excuse pour évoquer Alexis de Tocqueville devant d'éminents spécialistes de cette grande figure de la pensée. Et cette excuse est bien fragile, car subjective: à savoir que Tocqueville est l'un des trois auteurs généralement répertoriés dans les histoires des sciences sociales qui m'ont donné un choc intellectuel, que j'ai lus et relus avec une admiration croissante, avec le sentiment de m'instruire un peu plus à chaque lecture, les deux autres étant Max Weber et Émile Durkheim.

Societal Dynamics

Comparative history is not new. As long as people have investigated social life, there has been recurrent fascination with juxtaposing historical patterns from two or more times or places. Part of the appeal comes from the general usefulness of looking at historical trajectories in order to study social change. Indeed, practitioners of comparative history from Alexis de Tocqueville and Max Weber to Marc Bloch, Reinhard Bendix, and Barrington Moore, Jr. have typically been concerned with understanding societal dynamics and epochal transformations of cultures and social structures. Attention to historical sequences is indispensable to such understanding. Obviously, though, not all investigations of social change use explicit juxtapositions of distinct histories. We may wonder, therefore: What motivates the use of comparisons as opposed to focussing on single historical trajectories? What purposes are pursued—and how—through the specific modalities of comparative history?

Alexis De Tocqueville

Alexis de Tocqueville comparte con los pensadores sociales fundadores de la sociología clásica un organicismo típico. A su compartida visión de la sociedad como un cuerpo con órganos le correspondió una visión de la sociología como medicina social. Esta concepción natural de la sociología debiera ser capaz de sanar las peores enfermedades sociales con la contundencia del cirujano. Aquí no se diferencia Tocqueville de sus contemporáneos científicos sociales. El rasgo que le distingue de su ambiente teórico es un individualismo metodológico pionero y en línea con la posterior sociología de Max Weber. Las dos Memorias sobre el pauperismo de Tocqueville trataron de encajar las figuras del trabajador indigente y del miserable dentro de un sistema de control político. Asegurar la “ciudadanía” a ciertos sectores de la población fue compatible con generar cada vez más pobreza social. La estrategia político burguesa de sus fines no menoscaba la grandeza metodológica de Tocqueville como clásico de la sociología.

In Chapter 3, the author begins with labour colonies for the ‘idle poor’ in Europe (Holland, France, Britain, and Germany). In each case the volume analyses the colonies themselves and the population targeted but also the colonialism used to justify their existence. To this end, the writings of Jan van den Bosch of Holland, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Gustave de Beaumont of France; William Booth and Beatrice Webb of Britain; and Max Weber and Max Sering of Germany are examined as they weave together, in each case, domestic colonialism with various other schools of thought (Protestant Christianity, republicanism, paternalism, liberalism, socialism, and nationalism, respectively) to justify particular kinds of colonies for specific kinds of populations in each country.

The U.S

A common assumption holds that the best and most reliable guide to an interpretation of America came from the Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville and his great classic, Democracy in America. Max Weber never wrote a book on America; in fact, all his writings first appeared as articles in scholarly journals and were only later to find shape in the form of a book. But many of his: thoughts on America, some based on his trip to the U.S. in 1904, can be culled from his various writings, wartime journalism, and correspondance, most of which is being published with such commendable Germanic editorial and annotational thoroughness that his œuvre will be unavailable for years to come.
