摘要

The philosopher and mathematician Pascal is among those thinkers who have most deeply influenced Tocqueville, not only in content but also stylistically. His friend Louis de Kergorlay informs him in a letter from 1834 that he should take Montesquieu (see Chap. 36 ), Rousseau (see Chap. 39 ) and Pascal as “masters” and as stylistic models and points out to him that he already sporadically adopts their style.
