The Quest for Community: A Study in the Ethics of Order and Freedom
Robert Nisbet
A new edition of sociologist Robert Nisbet's magnum opus, first published in 1953. It argues that the rise of the powerful modern state had eroded the sources of community-the family, the neighbourhood, the church, the guild -- and that alienation and loneliness have inevitably resulted. This edition includes an introduction by New York Times columnist Ross Douthat and three critical essays.
