Repairing Jefferson's America A Guide to Civility and Enlightened Citizenship

Repairing Jefferson's America A Guide to Civility and Enlightened Citizenship
Clay S Jenkinson, "Repairing Jefferson's America: A Guide to Civility and Enlightened Citizenship"
English | ISBN: 164663098X | 2020 | 214 pages | EPUB | 1532 KB
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was the greatest idealist of the Founding Fathers of America. He believed that average citizens are up to the challenge of governing themselves. He envisioned a republic of well-educated, well-informed, engaged, and vigilant citizens. Jefferson's dream of a semi-utopian American republic has nearly been swallowed up by cynical partisanship, government gridlock, consumer materialism, and the corrosive power of money in American politics. Jefferson believed in civility, majority rule, the primacy of science and reason, and harmony in all of our public and private relations.

Religion and Political Change in the Modern World

Religion and Political Change in the Modern World
Jeffrey Haynes, "Religion and Political Change in the Modern World "
English | ISBN: 0415744962 | 2014 | 192 pages | EPUB | 1526 KB
The purpose of the book is to ascertain whether there is a generic impact that 'religion' brings to bear on recent political changes in the modern world. Over the last two decades or so, there have been increasing numbers of political issues with which various manifestations of religion engage. This impact is not restricted exclusively to countries in the 'developed' or 'developing' world. Instead, we seem to be seeing a widespread impact of religion on politics which defies earlier assumptions about secularisation. This presumed that the more 'modern' a country is then the less likely it is that religion will play a significant political role. Recent evidence is, however, firmly to the contrary: the degree of 'modernity' in a country does not correspond well with the amount of 'religiosity' in a country, nor with the role that religion can play in politics.
