- Description
- Book Review: Mark A. Young asks: “Is there a problem with community in America?” (p. 1). Agreeing with Robert Putnam’s views, embodied in Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community (New York: Touchstone Press, 2000), regarding the breakdown of communal values in the US, but not with his nostalgic recommendations regarding the ‘good old days’ of univocal homogenous communities, Young proposes an alternative solution to Putnam’s, starting from Aristotle’s sophisticated account of the self/community relation and drawing important insights from Alasdair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor, Amitai Etzione, Paul Ricoeur, Michael Sandel and especially Hannah Arendt.
