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. Prison reform was their passport to the New World; it legitimated what proved to be a cultural enquiry of seminal importance. Here, Tocqueville's that reflect his anxieties ar...

The concept of a legal right to privacy existed long before 1890 when Samuel D. Warren and Louis D. Brandeis published their much-acclaimed Harvard Law Review article advocating tort liability for invasions of privacy by publication. A number of writers and public intellectuals had already dramatized a need for protecting people from the prying of the press. Their essays upheld Victorian social standards and typically assigned blame to commercial pressures on journalists to satisfy public appetites. Attempting to resolve a conflict between civility and civil liberties, they either endorsed as much self-regulation as possible or called for a legal remedy. Nineteenth-century privacy advocates raised issues of audience tastes and media ethics that remain contentious today.

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...

He became the subject of a four-volume biographical novel entitled "Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges" by Roger de Beauvoir (Calmann-Levy, Paris, 1828). This was a highly romanticized account, alternating precariously between fact and fiction. A more realistic account of Saint-Georges can be found in "World's Great Men of Color" by the African-American historian J. A. Rogers, whose source of information was the Beauvoir novel. According to Rogers, Saint-Georges was "the most dazzling and fascinating figure at the most splendid court of Europe, as a violinist, pianist, poet, composer and actor." Among other things, he credited him as being a master swordsman, as well as a model of high fashion and elegance. "To crown all of this," Rogers noted, "he possessed a spirit of rare generosity, kind...
