Whose Keeper? is a profound and creative treatise on modernity and
its challenge to social science. Alan Wolfe argues that modern
liberal democracies, such as the United States and Scandinavia,
have broken with traditional sources of mortality and instead have
relied upon economic and political frameworks to define their
obligations to one another. Wolfe calls for reinvigorating a sense
of community and thus a sense of obligation to the larger
society. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived
program, which commemorates University of California Press’s
mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them
voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893,
Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1989.
