Americans care about the public value of moral habits. They like to
see virtue rewarded and vice censured, appealing as this does to
the nation's deep sense that one's success rests neither in money
nor in power but in one's civility. In The Soul of Civil Society
Don Eberly and Ryan Streeter look beyond such abstractions as the
"voluntary sector" and superficial communitarian solutions to civic
anomie to identify the pivotal role played by local voluntary
associations in a civil society. Not only important for the
services they provide, these "little platoons," as Edmund Burke
labeled them, are the public incubators of a "new" morality, their
emphasis on civic engagement at the local level central to
preserving America's democratic culture on the national and
international stage. More than simply championing the promise of a
social renaissance, The Soul of Civil Society is essential reading
for those seeking to do battle with a culturally entrenched
individualism that threatens the core of America's moral vitality.
