The Civil Sphere Description
Societies are not governed only by power and self-interest. What then does make societies function? How do real individuals live together in real societies in the real world? Jeffrey Alexander's masterful work, The Civil Sphere, addresses this central paradox of modern life. Feelings for others - the solidarity that is ignored or underplayed by theories of power or self-interest - are at the heart of this novel inquiry into the meeting place betweennormative theories of what we think we should do and empirical studies of who we actually are. The Civil Sphere is a major contribution to our thinking about the real but ideal world in which we all reside.
