基本説明
邦訳：2010年・勁草書房
New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 1996. A bold and compelling critique of American liberalism that challenges us to reassess some basic assumptions about our public life and its dilemmas. Includes Part I (The Constitution of the Procedural Republic) and Part II (The Political Economy of Citizenship).
Full Description
The defect, Sandel maintains, lies in the impoverished vision of citizenship and community shared by Democrats and Republicans alike. American politics has lost its civic voice, leaving both liberals and conservatives unable to inspire the sense of community and civic engagement that self-government requires.
In search of a public philosophy adequate to our time, Sandel ranges across the American political experience, recalling the arguments of Jefferson and Hamilton, Lincoln and Douglas, Holmes and Brandeis, FDR and Reagan. He relates epic debates over slavery and industrial capitalism to contemporary controversies over the welfare state, religion, abortion, gay rights, and hate speech. Democracy's Discontent provides a new interpretation of the American political and constitutional tradition that offers hope of rejuvenating our civic life.
