New Communitarian Thinking: Persons, Virtues, Institutions, and Communities (Constitutionalism and Democracy) - Softcover

Amitai Etzioni has collected a sterling list of contributors who bring communitarian thinking to bear on such timely and contentious issues as abortion, homosexuality, free speech, and personal autonomy. These essays cross disciplinary lines and connect the ivory tower to the world beyond.
