Sinossi
Excerpt from The Promise of American Life
Of an essential constituent In our national ideal. The past should mean less to a European than it does to an American, and the future should mean more. To be sure, American life cannot with impunity be wrenched vio lently from its moorings any more than the life of a European country can; but our American past, compared to that of any European country, has a character all its own. Its peculiarity consists, not merely in its brevity, but in the fact that from the beginning it has been informed by an idea. From the beginning Americans have been anticipating and projecting a better future. From the beginning the Land of Democracy has been figured as the Land of Promise. Thus the American' s loyalty to the national tradition rather affirms than denies the imaginative projection of a better future. An America which was not the Land of Promise, which was not informed by a prophetic outlook and a more or less constructive ideal, would not be the America be queathed to us by our forefathers. In cherishing the Promise of a better national future the Americfiis' fulfilling rathner than imperiling the substafrée of the national tradition.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a profound exploration of the American national idea. The author challenges the traditional optimistic view that the United States is a land of destiny, where success is inevitable for all. Instead, they argue that the "Promise of American Life" is more complex and requires conscious effort to achieve. Drawing on historical examples, the book delves into the relationship between economic opportunity, political freedom, and social progress. The author contrasts America's ideals with the realities of social inequalities and political corruption. They argue that the American system, although achieving great successes, has reached a point where it must address the social problem of wealth distribution and power imbalances. This compelling analysis compels readers to consider the ongoing quest for a just and equitable society in America and to reexamine the meaning of the American dream.
