The New Golden Rule: Community And Morality In A Democratic Society
Autor Amitai Etzionien Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 apr 1998
One
of
the
world's
leading
sociologists
and
most
quoted
intellectuals
in
America
today,
Amitai
Etzioni
has
been
the
subject
of
numerous
profiles
in
all
the
major
media
and
has
worked
both
with
members
of
the
Clinton
Administration
and
Republican
senators
on
social
issues
and
policy.
Now,
in
this
important
new
book,
he
invites
us
to
explore
how
a
good
society
should
operate
and
what
values
we
must
bring
to
our
social
interactions
if
we
are
to
achieve
stronger
and
more
enduring
community
ties.As
Etzioni
has
found
in
his
years
devoted
to
researching
and
studying
the
subject,
the
problem
facing
society
today
is
that
half
the
population
is
wary
of
order
and
morality,
while
the
other
half
is
suspicious
of
liberty,
which
is
equated
with
permissiveness.
In
an
in-depth
analysis
that
masterfully
cuts
this
Gordian
knot,
the
author
lays
out
how
we
can,
indeed
must,
have
both
order
and
autonomy
if
we
are
to
create
a
society
in
which
communities
and
individuals
can
thrive.
Recognizing
that
excessive
morality
and
excessive
liberty
are
each
a
dire
threat
to
the
health
of
society,
Etzioni
demonstrates
how
we
have
overreacted
in
recent
years
by
assuming
that
there
must
be
a
tradeoff
between
morality
and
freedom.
However,
this
need
not
be
the
case,
because
when
order
is
largely
based
on
moral
commitments
rather
than
on
the
law,
and
autonomy
is
regarded
as
a
place
in
a
social
space,
these
two
social
virtues
can
reinforce
each
other.Using
this
framework,
Etzioni
studies
the
implications
for
the
future
of
diversity
in
America,
the
implications
for
educating
the
next
generation,
and
our
relationships
with
other
societies.
He
also
explores
the
public
policy
implications
of
his
observations
and
how
governments,
community
groups
and
families
can
respond
and
grow.
