Overview
Can Europe survive after abandoning the national loyalties-and religious traditions-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 Europe's experiment in maximising individual and social rights. By seeking to escape from the "national form," he shows, the European Union has weakened the very institutions that made possible liberty and self-government in the first place. Worse still, the "spiritual vacuity" that characterises today's secular Europe-and, increasingly, the United States-is ultimately untenable.
