Sinossi
In the spirit of recent works such as <i>Habits of the Heart</i> and <i>The Closing of the American Mind</i>, Ralph Ketcham's <i>Individualism and Public Life</i> asks whether the individualism which has made possible so many of the material advances we enjoy may also be the cause of the shortcomings troubling our society today. <p>By tracing the development of individualism from its origins in classical and Judeo-Christian traditions, and enlisting the insights of East Asian cultures, Ketcham re-evaluates the individualism which characterizes contemporary American society. He then poses a new politics of the public interest, including revised ideas of citizenship, leadership, and decision-making in a grand attempt to reconcile the individualism of American liberalism with a healthy conception of public life.</p>
