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.
