Coming Together/Coming Apart
Angebote / Angebote:
The idea of "community" is increasingly vital to our individual and social well-being. Yet at the same time, our ordinary communal relations are being eroded by increased social and geographical mobility, lost traditions, and the growing pluralism of society. Examining this renewed desire for community, "Coming Together/Coming Apart" locates the current problems of society in the conditions of modern capitalism. From a background of advocacy and crossdisciplinary work, Bounds analyzes a broad range of theorists from Daniel Bell and Stanley Hauerwas to Iris Young, Sharon Welch and Cornel West. Through comparison of their arguments about community, she illustrates critical assumptions about the roles of morality and religion including the impact of modernity, the value of difference, the diversity of traditions, and the nature of moral connection.
