      Po co w trzeciej dekadzie XXI w., w obliczu wielkich globalnych problemów, przypominać kontrowersyjnego filozofa politycznego i teoretyka cywilizacji z pierwszej połowy wieku XIX? Wszak już za życia, przez współczesnych, został skazany na wieczną niepamięć za ogłoszoną podczas Wielkiej Emigracji w 1834 r. narodową apostazję. Jego pisma były nieobecne w polskiej tradycji intelektualnej. Mimo to wciąż powracał, niejako okrężną drogą, za pośrednictwem badaczy zajmujących się panslawizmem czy cywilizacją amerykańską. Zaiste, wśród wywodzących się z Polski myślicieli niewielu miało tak szeroką perspektywę. Niewielu też w swym życiu osobiście mogło poznać tak odmienne światy, polityczne i społeczne, oraz ich filozoficzne uzasadnienia, od Berlina i Warszawy, przez Paryż, Londyn, Petersburg, Rzym, po Nowy Jork, Waszyngton i Boston. Autor publikowanych traktatów miał nieraz profetyczne wręcz zdolności. Wizje obserwowanych procesów, które kreślił w wieku pary i żelaza, wiary w postęp oraz optymistycznej oceny natury ludzkiej, miały wydać swój owoc, nieraz zatruty, w następnym stuleciu, dopiero w epoce masowych społeczeństw i kultury, tryumfu demokracji, ale i totalitarnej tyranii oraz naukowo uzasadnianego ludobójstwa.
