Each month, Le Regard Libre presents a philosopher whose thinking differs from, or even runs counter to, certain clich\u00e9s circulating about him or her.

This counter-intuitive idea can be explored through Tocqueville's relationship with the law.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n read the analysis (subscribers)\n
