In May 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville and his friend Gustave de Beaumont landed at Newport RI after 37 days at sea. Tocquevile was a deputy royal prosecutor, Beaumont his immediate superior. The two had been granted leaves of absence from their duties in the French judicial system to study American prisons, and a book-length report they co-authored upon their return, Du systeme penitentiaire aux Etats-Unis et de son application en France, testifies to the earnestness with which they undertook their mission. But the letters they wrote from America show them avidly observing everything around them.

The concept of a legal right to privacy existed long before 1890 when Samuel D. Warren and Louis D.

In addition to developing the import of these legal insights for interpretation of the Phenomenology, I will also suggest that forgiveness's resolution of the failed legal frameworks is helpful in the context of the contemporary skepticism (exhibited by feminist, race-theorist, queer, communitarian, and democratic perspectives, among others) regarding the purported critical efficacy and neutrality of legalism and the connection of legal advocacy with the "natural" aspects of human identity. In order to construct the ground upon which to show the relevance of Hegel's theory of forgiveness to his theory of law, I will discuss: a the forms of social life in the Phenomenology that are organized according to law and right; b forgiveness' resolution of the difficulties they confront; and c t...
