Engagement and Disengagement

<p>Part dialogue part debate between Howard Schneiderman and a small number of social theorists <i>Engagement and Disengagement</i> represents the culmination of a life’s work in social theory. On the one hand it is about cohesive social cultural and intellectual forces such as authority community status and the sacred that tie us together and on the other hand about forces such as alienation politics and economic warfare that pull us apart. With a blend of humanism and social science <i>Engagement and Disengagement</i> highlight this two-culture solution to understanding social and cultural history.</p>
