Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. An instant classic.Yuval LevinA timely volume for America250 that illuminates what America meansand what it means to be an American.As Americans mark the semiquincentennial of their republics birth, they are deeply divided over the nature and meaning of the American Founding. Does the United States rest on an intrinsically racist basis, as is now so often claimed? Did the Declaration of Independence commit the United States to a perpetual revolution aimed at liberating the American peopleand othersfrom all inherited constraints? If Americas framers were neither vile racists nor wild-eyed radicals, were they at least good liberals? They were in fact none of these things. In On America: How to Understand the Legacy of 1776, Russell Kirk, one of the most important and brilliant thinkers of the twentieth century, explains that America is not an experiment, but rather a particular expression of the entire Western heritage. The Founding of the United States should be understood as an essentially conservative act, writes Kirk, and is therefore an achievement in which sober-minded Americans ought to take pride. Besides fresh, accessible essays on the Declaration of Independence and the Founding period, On America includes Kirks insightful reflections on wise American statesmen from John Adams to Abraham Lincoln to (surprisingly) Eugene McCarthy, as well as his interpretations of great American writers from Nathaniel Hawthorne to Robert Frost to Mark Twain.
