Democracy and Solidarity: Nihilism and the Future

  • The Morningside Institute 91 Claremont Avenue Floor 11 New York, NY, 10027 United States (map)

Having exhausted its primary sources of solidarity, James Davison Hunter diagnoses America with a pathology of nihilism and identifies some of the leading proposals for treatment. Will such an effort be led by the coercive power of the state, or by some kind of cultural renewal? Would it come from the Left or the Right, or something beyond them both?

On Tuesday, April 15, at 6 PM join Professors Casey Blake and Richard John (Columbia) for this conclusion to our series on the present and future of America’s unity. Reading: chapters twelve and fourteen.
