摘要
This article is on Tocqueville and his thoughts about the vicissitudes of the democracy which have been given a fresh impetus because of the massive demonstrations driven or generated by the 15th-May spirit. Such as the texts written by the rest of the classical authors, his writings were right when both approaching the problems and arousing diagnostics and are still capable to drive us to think anew about the rules of the democratic game. Following the paradoxical destiny of his great-grandfather Malesherbes, who defended the rights of the people before Louis 16th and next the rights of the King before the revolutionary court, the aristocratic Tocqueville became a champion of the unstoppable democratic revolution but without forgetting the potential dangers caused by this revolution. His comparison between both French and American revolutions helped him to define the qualities of the homo democraticus. The text intends to work as a sort of lay-out of the material collected in this issue. Tocqueville y sus reflexiones en torno a los avatares de la democracia cobran una inusitada vigencia con las movilizaciones generada por el esp赤ritu del 15M. Como cualquier otro cl芍sico que se precie de merecer tal nombre, sus escritos aciertan a la hora de plantear los problemas y suscitar diagn車sticos que no han perdido su capacidad para hacernos repensar las reglas del juego democr芍tico. Siguiendo el parad車jico destino de su bisabuelo Malesherbes, quien defendi車 los derechos del pueblo ante Luis XVI y luego a 谷ste frente al tribunal revolucionario, el aristocr芍tico Tocqueville se convertir赤a en un palad赤n de la imparable revoluci車n democr芍tica, sin dejar de analizar los potenciales peligros entra ados por 谷sta. Su comparaci車n entre las revoluciones americana y francesa le servir赤a para definir a los atributos del homo democraticus. El texto pretende servir de presentaci車n a los materiales recogidos en este n迆mero.
