In this new edition of Overcoming America / America Overcoming,
Stephen Rowe shows how the COVID-19 pandemic in tandem with
Trumpism have brought basic dynamics of the American situation to
high relief, and hence provide opportunity to address them - before
it is too late. The dynamics he identifies are those of moral
disease and political paralysis as 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 the
current and potentially fatal malaise and violence: 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.
