商品簡介
These eight essays originate in an eponymous project begun by editor Nepo at the Fetzer Institute, which seeks to "sow the seeds of a national and international conversation about the inner life of democracy and its citizens, and the relationship of America to the rest of the world" and issue a call to reexamine the habits of American hearts and the habits of American minds. The essays explore the nature of American spirituality, how current American culture impairs has impaired understanding of the world's common humanity, spiritual responses to al-Qaeda, the risk of America losing its relevance without a search for meaning and community arising from our inner lives, and similar topics.
