Includes List of Other Works of Interest From St. Augustine's Press; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Introduction: Can America Be Conserved? and Index. "Opinions about America have taken a decisive turn in the early part of the 21st century. Some 70% of Americans believe that the country is moving in the wrong direction, and half the country thinks that its best days are behind it. Most believe that their children will be less prosperous and have fewer opportunities than previous generations. Evident to all is that the political system is broken and social fabric is frraying, particularly as a growing gap between wealthy haves and left-behind have-nots increases, a hostile divide widens between faithful and secular, and deep disagreement persists over America's role in the world. Wealthy Americans continue to build gated enclaves in and around select cities where they congregate, while growing numbers of Christians compare our times to those of the late Roman empire, and ponder a fundamental withdrawal from wider American society into updated forms of Benedictine monastic communities. The signs of the times suggest that much is wrong with America. This collection of thematic essays by Notre Dame political theorist and public intellectual Patrick Deneen addresses the questions, is there something worth conserving in America, and if so, is Ameerica capable of conservation? Can a nation founded in a revolutionary moment that led to the founding of the first liberal nation be thought capable of sustaining and passing on virtues and practices that ennoble? Or is America inherently a nation that idolizes the new over the old, license over ordered liberty, and hedonism over self-rule? Can America conserve what is worth keeping for it to reamin - or even become - a Republic? Noting the discontent with the left/right categories that dominate public discussion and define the American political imaginary, Deneen examines a variety of political, social, and cultural themes as means of renewal. While American conservatives tend to view a return to glory requiring a return to Constitutional principles, Deneen regards "present discontents" as arising in significant part due to the ralization of, rather than deviation from, the basic liberal principles embedded in the American Constitutional order. America's strengths have arisen not from its theory, but from its historical practice, which served as leaven and a fundamental corrective to its mistaken theories of liberal individualism and economistic materialism. And while American progressives regard the solution to this pholisophy lying in a statist and collectivest vision of national community, Deneen artues that this conclusion only grows out of, and ultimately reinforces, the individualism of our official philosophy." - from the inner front and real French-style extended softcover wraps.
