Core Actors in America challenges the ontological assumptions of America's dominant public philosophy, liberalism, and its more affectionate subordinate, communitarianism. Neither provides a sufficiently robust account of who we are and what we are capable of achieving in the social and political arenas. Dr. Stephen Terhune Smith presents an alternative view that focuses on the world view and historical impact of core actors, morally informed non-conformists who initiate major social and political changes, which ultimately become part of our institutional landscape. Acting in venues of all sizes, these core actors not only call for profound alterations in our relationships to each other and the world, but also demonstrate that such changes are possible. This book develops a theoretical framework that combines historical research with contemporary interviews that reveal patterns of moral knowledge and action across generations. Core Actors in America is a stimulating and sophisticated text that will appeal to those interested in political theory and philosophical analysis.
