An Empire of Ideals: The Chimeric Imagination of Ronald Reagan: Routledge Research in American Politics and Governance
Autor Justin D. Garrisonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 aug 2015
Reagan spoke often about religion, democracy, freedom, conservatism, progress, America’s role in the world, the American people, the American Founding, and peace. These are for him important symbols, which together express his general vision of politics and human existence. These symbols have to be analyzed in depth in order to understand who Reagan really was and what he represented to his admirers. The book concludes that Reagan’s vision contains many dubious elements that present dangers for practical politics and claims that the popularity of Reagan’s imagination among Americans suggests a problematic self-understanding.
Surpassing, existing works on Reagan’s ideas and speeches, this book systematically explains the general quality and major components of Reagan’s vision, and it draws upon political theory, aesthetics, and American political thought to analyze his imagination.

Recenzii
"Garrison has produced the most penetrating and finest analysis of Ronald Reagan’s rhetoric. His findings are bound to surprise many and even shock some."
—George W. Carey, Georgetown University
"Justin Garrison's highly original work explodes conventional categorizations about Ronald Reagan's politics and governing philosophy. Using Reagan's own words, Garrison makes the provocative, yet ultimately convincing, case that the icon of modern conservatism was actually an adherent of the ideas of a variety of thinkers, including even leading progressive ones. I commend this work to scholars and students of the presidency, rhetoric, and political philosophy."
