American politics and government are so moribund, according to
Erwin Jaffe, that serious political dialogue is a stranger in a
land celebrated for freedom of expression. Healing the Body Politic
examines the sources of this condition, among them the loss of
connectedness (society's orientation toward mobility and its
relative disinterest in place, neighborhood, and community),
widespread misunderstanding of the distinction and relationship
between power and violence, and a distorted image of political life
and responsibility. This broad-based work examines these problems
and proposes, both in theoretical and practical terms, a rethinking
and rediscovery of political power and political life as the only
viable solution. Drawing on a variety of fields, including
traditional political theory, this work points the way to a
restoration of American political life and our ability to cope once
again with the problems of civil society. It will be of interest to
scholars and students of political science, political theory, and
American government.
