Reviews

This is a valuable and timely book. While a collaboration by eight writers, the volume holds together in both theme and style. The editors. . . . have asked the right questions. . . . The answers provided give splended insights into modern political theory and cut to the heart of our current national discontents. -- Allan Carlson, president, The Howard Center for Family, Religion & Society, Rockford, Illinois * University Bookman *
This work is a cut far above the typical academic anthology. It can be read as a single book, and anyone choosing to do so will be richly rewarded. -- Bradley C. S. Watson, Philip M. McKenna Professor of Politics, Saint Vincent College * Modern Age *
Valuable contribution to the sometimes stale contemporary literature on liberalism and community. * American Political Science Review *
Community and Tradition impressively shows the conflicted character of communitarian theory. -- Marc D. Guerra, Assumption College * Perspectives on Political Science *
