A closer look
What’s inside this ebook?
What Keeps Us Together
Liberty Equality and Belonging in American Civic Life
Can a person owe something particular to fellow members of a political life without owing compulsory gratitude, unquestioning obedience or patriotic affection?
What Keeps Us Together follows that question through a serious dispute between bounded civic responsibility and an impartial rival. Original thought-examples test urgent claims from outside the country, unrequested benefits, expertise, majority decisions, conscience and criticism.
Merrin Halcross distinguishes caring for a country from approving its officials, equal standing from equal judgment, and a common decision from a common emotion. Brief encounters with identified historical arguments sharpen the inquiry without turning it into a history survey or a guide to current law.
