Reviews

[A] probing analysis of the foundations of liberal democracy. Through a close textual analysis of Spinoza's Theologico-Political Treatise and Tocqueville's Democracy in America, Herold provides a compelling account of the origin and trajectory of liberalism...[A]n essential read for anyone concerned with the crisis of liberalism. A proper understanding of the origin and future of liberalism requires an apprenticeship with Spinoza and Tocqueville. Herold's book induces us to revive these great thinkers of the past and to enter into dialogue with them concerning the new and enduring problems of human existence. - * The Review of Politics *
