On Community (BOSTON UNIVERSITY STUDIES IN PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION)

Book Overview

The individualism and restless mobility of modernity have become disorienting and frightening. Our nostalgia for premodern times, when natural bonds to kith and kin were unshakable, continues to surface - most recently in the popular phenomenon of support groups. On Community examines this philosophical issue of community for the postmodern mind by presenting 13 original essays by specialists currently working on this problem.
