The crisis of western civilization is a crisis of public
philosophy. This is the charge of Public Philosophy and Political
Science, a stunning new collection of essays edited by E. Robert
Statham Jr. Vividly cataloging the decay of the moral and
intellectual foundations of civic liberty, the book portrays a
generation of Americans alienated from institutions built on public
philosophy. The work exposes the failure of America's political
scientists to acknowledge and understand this alarming crisis in
the American body politic. The distinguished contributors examine
the evolution of public philosophy; the inextricable relationship
between politics and philosophy; and the interplay between public
philosophy, the constitution, natural law, and government. They
reveal the dire threat to deliberative democracy and the
fundamental order of constitutional society posed by public
philosophy's waning power to refine, cultivate, and civilize. The
work is an indictment of a society which has discarded a way of
life rooted in natural law, democracy and the traditions of
civility; and is a denunciation of an educated elite that has
divorced itself from the standards upon which public philosophy
rests. It is essential reading for philosophers and political and
social scientists seeking to resurrect the standards of American
public life.
