Anti-utopian, pragmatic, and thoroughly idealistic, Stephen White outlines a repertoire of democratic practices for a world without transcendent guarantees. Nuanced yet accessible, detailed yet synthetic, The Ethos of a Late-Modern Citizen is a clear statement from a mature intellectual of an important and unique position: a signature book.
