The \"other side\" is no longer viewed as a well-intentioned opponent but as an existential threat. If we don't change course, American democracy is far from assured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book outlines specific steps that average citizens can take to back the nation away from the brink. Instead of looking to political leaders, institutions, or policy for solutions to extreme partisanship, Christopher Beem argues that concerned citizens can and must take up the cause. He spells out seven civic practices we can all follow that will help us work against our antidemocratic tendencies and reorient the nation toward the \"more perfect union\" of our Founders. Beem's road map to restore our democracy draws on thinkers from Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas to James Madison, Hannah Arendt, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmpathetic and eminently reasonable, \u003ci\u003eThe Seven Democratic Virtues\u003c\/i\u003e presents practical advice for what each of us can do to change the political discourse and save our democracy. This is necessary reading for our politics today--and in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Beem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271093943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271093949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 1.00d","brand":"Christopher Beem","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072185168127,"sku":"9780271093949","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21415f37-5803-4652-ad73-203609261609.jpg?v=1685440444","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-seven-democratic-virtues-christopher-beem-9780271093949","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
