�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This text looks at the problems that face democracy in America. It traces the predicament to the public philosophy of America. It argues that the defects lie in the impoverished vision of citizenship and community shared by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Cr�ticas

Beautifully and mildly argued...Mr. Sandel conveys ideas with patient lucidity...The book's strength is historical...Mr. Sandel's philosophical take on history, however, does more than nudge us out of our contemporaneity. He shows, through close readings of Supreme Court decisions, how philosophical conceptions of the person changed--from a premise that an American will inherit a belief in God, for example, to one in which Americans are viewed as people whose religious faith is chosen like desserts at a restaurant...American history is, in Mr. Sandel's telling, a story of the tragic loss of civic republicanism--the notion that liberty is not about freedom from government, but about the capacity for self-government, which alone makes the practice of freedom possible.--Andrew Sullivan "New York Times Book Review "
