His talk, \u201cDemocratic Greatness? Tocqueville on American Ambition,\u201d is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by Furman\u2019s political science department and its Tocqueville Lecture Series. Faulkner explores Alexis de Tocqueville\u2019s Democracy in America by investigating whether moral grandeur, on the model of Aristotle\u2019s great-souled man, is possible in a democratic society."}
