Philip Selznick's study of moral and social theory establishes the intellectual foundations of an important new movement in American thought: communitarianism. Emerging in part as a response to the excesses of American individualism - particularly rampant during the 1980s - communitarianism seeks to restore the balance between individual rights and social responsibilities. The Moral Commonwealth attempts to explain and justify this communitarian turn and give it a liberal interpretation.

Reviews for The Moral Commonwealth: Social Theory and the Promise of Community

...The book is a tour de force which has successfully sifted the most cogent and relevant information from the endless pages that have been written about this arrhythmia. Within this volume the reader will find new and important knowledge about this condition. - A. John Camm, Professor of Clinical Cardiology and Chief of Cardiac and Vascular Sciences, St. George's Hospital Medical School, London, United Kingdom
