It is unlikely that Tocqueville read Kant. In a letter to Gobineau, he asks him to summarise Kant’s teachings, as he himself does not speak German (OC IX, 60). This only relevant reference to Kant in Tocqueville’s work occurs in the context of a consideration of morality: Tocqueville wants to explore the connection between religion and morality and wants to know to what extent modern morality has moved away from Christianity and Christian morality. Since Kant is one of the most important representatives of modern morality, he wants to familiarise himself with his moral system and therefore asks Gobineau for a summary.

摘要

It is unlikely that Tocqueville read Kant. In a letter to Gobineau, he asks him to summarise Kant’s teachings, as he himself does not speak German (OC IX, 60). This only relevant reference to Kant in Tocqueville’s work occurs in the context of a consideration of morality: Tocqueville wants to explore the connection between religion and morality and wants to know to what extent modern morality has moved away from Christianity and Christian morality. Since Kant is one of the most important representatives of modern morality, he wants to familiarise himself with his moral system and therefore asks Gobineau for a summary.
