Democracy without Nations?: The Fate of Self-Government in

Democracy without Nations?: The Fate of Self-Government in Europe (Crosscurrents)

Can Europe survive after abandoning the national loyaltiesâ€”and religious traditionsâ€”that provided meaning? And what will happen to the United States as it goes down a similar path?
The eminent French political philosopher Pierre Manent addresses these questions in his brilliant meditation on Europeâ€™s experiment in maximizing individual and social rights. By seeking to escape from the â€œnational form,â€ he shows, the European Union has weakened the very institutions that made possible liberty and self-government in the first place. Worse still, the â€œspiritual vacuityâ€ that characterizes todayâ€™s secular Europeâ€”and, increasingly, the United Statesâ€”is ultimately untenable.
