Renewing America’s Civic Compact Hardback
Edited by Carol McNamara, Trevor Shelley
Part of the Political Theory for Today series
Hardback
Description
Renewing America’s Civic Compact addresses the chief challenges and principal tensions in the operation of our civil society in order to consider possible paths forward.
The meritocracy, multiculturalism, issues of race, technology, and populist nationalism in American democracy today are some of the issues that have created more tensions to American public life.
Chapters address the condition of civil conversation within the university and across American society.
This collection then engages debates over the continued relevance and durability of liberal ideas and institutions; whether we have accessible means and resources to channel digital technology more fruitfully for the sake of human achievement and well-being; and how some have endeavored to revitalize the American civic vocation through both scholarly and practical education.
Finally, the volume closes with a call to restore civic friendship, properly understood, as the foundation for renewing America’s civic compact.
