Cultural Abdication
$4.99
Cultural Abdication examines how responsibility moves from households and communities into larger systems. Volume III of Lighthouse Politics considers the civic costs of that gradual transfer—and asks whether citizens can begin recovering duties that convenience has encouraged them to relinquish.
Description
What changes when a society delegates more of the work of sustaining itself? Cultural Abdication examines the gradual movement of responsibility from families and communities toward institutions, systems, and abstractions across the American century.
Following the structural questions of The Structural Beam and the cultural concerns of Keeping the Lamp Lit, this third Lighthouse Politics volume turns to drift: the accumulation of choices that can weaken civic life without a declared moment of surrender.
The book presents an argument about long-term responsibility rather than an account of a single election. It invites readers interested in civic culture to consider what citizens pass outward, what they lose in the transfer, and what might be recovered.
