This may be a better question for next class' discussion, but I am going to pose it anyway. I'm going to return to the oft-proposed question of whether this work deserves the title of a great book. I see the value of
Democracy in America to us as Americans, but I wonder whether this book would be on the great books list of another western country. I also ask this question due to some of the other issues proposed so far by Mike, Tara, etc... Since many of the conditions of America have changed, what is the intrinsic value of this work that places it among the ranks of the other great books of western society?
