In Overcoming America / America Overcoming, Stephen Rowe shows how
the moral disease and political paralysis that plague America are
symptomatic of the fact that America herself has been overtaken by
the modern values which she exported to the rest of the world. He
points to a way out of this current and potentially fatal malaise:
join other societies which are also struggling to move beyond the
modern and consciously reappropriate those elements of tradition
which have to do with cultivation of the mature human being. To
avoid fundamentalism, Rowe discusses how this reappropriation must
be undertaken in dialogue with those who also have come to
recognize the unsustainable quality of the modern life, and who
have been able to live beyond the nihilistic wish to tear it down.
This book supports the call for an emerging global ethic and
spirituality, providing resources of articulation and
interpretation that allow for an ongoing dialogue between
traditional and modern values both worthy and problematic in their
own ways through which reliable policy and healthy living become
possible.
