Hardback. Zustand: New. The insurrection of January 6, 2021, demonstrated conclusively that tribalism in the United States has become dangerous. The "other side" is no longer viewed as a well-intentioned opponent but as an existential threat. If we don't change course, American democracy is far from assured.This book outlines specific steps that average citizens can take to back the nation away from the brink. Instead of looking to political leaders, institutions, or policy for solutions to extreme partisanship, Christopher Beem argues that concerned citizens can and must take up the cause. He spells out seven civic practices we can all follow that will help us work against our antidemocratic tendencies and reorient the nation toward the "more perfect union" of our Founders. Beem's road map to restore our democracy draws on thinkers from Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas to James Madison, Hannah Arendt, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Empathetic and eminently reasonable, The Seven Democratic Virtues presents practical advice for what each of us can do to change the political discourse and save our democracy. This is necessary reading for our politics today-and in the future.…

Our civic institutions are in bad shape, many argue, and we are growing ever more cynical and disconnected from our leaders and from one another. In response to this bleak assessment, advocates of " civil society" argue that our society's predicament centers on the decline of our local institutions: families, neighborhoods, churches, and community associations. If we are to restore a more moral, civic~minded society, we must work to rejuvenate these institutions. Christopher Beem argues that while the movement's goals are timely and advisable, simply restoring local institutions will not solve the problem; society also needs politics and government to provide a sense of shared values and ideas. Beem traces the concept of civil society back to its theoretical wellsprings in Tocqueville and Hegel, who grappled with the same problems more than a century ago. Both thinkers rejected the sufficiency of civil society alone to achieve the degree of moral and civic unity necessary for a well~ordered polity. Beem brings their thought alive by relating it to the contemporary civil society debate. He then turns to the history of the American Civil Rights movement, culminating in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, to illustrate how civil society both instructs and is instructed by the moral parameters developed through politics. This timely book seeks to correct a movement that is all too willing to undervalue or dismiss the role of politics in cultivating a moral society. More than this, The Necessity of Politics calls for a more developed sense of what the state is for, what our politics ought to be about, and of how government and civil society are both necessary to fashion and sustain a moral commonwealth.…
