About the Book

These essays cross disciplinary lines and connect the ivory tower to the world beyond.

Book Synopsis

Communitarian thought is at the heart of a fierce debate in political theory about the justice, efficacy, and future of liberalism and liberal societies. Amitai Etzioni has collected a sterling list of contributors who bring communitarian thinking to bear on such timely and contentious issues as abortion, homosexuality, free speech, and personal autonomy. These essays cross disciplinary lines and connect the ivory tower to the world beyond.

From the Back Cover

Communitarian thought has been dismissed as, at best, little more than a corrective to the excesses of liberalism and, at worst, as a form of 'old-fashioned collectivism.' This volume aims to provide an account of communitarian thought which answers charges c=such as these while establishing communitarian philosophy as a robust theory in its own right.
