论托克维尔的公共道德观

On Tocqueville's Arguments on Public Moral

托克维尔认为,公共道德对于维护现代民主中的自由是必需的,他的公共道德以"正确理解的自利"原则为核心,是一种结合了自利与公益、个性与公共性的现代公共道德。

Tocqueville alleges that public moral is indispensable to sustaining liberties in modern democracy. The principle of ＂properly-understood self-interest＂ is located in the core of his understanding of public moral. It is a kind of modern public moral combined with self-interest and public interest, and individuality and commonality.
