Jeffrey Alexander's masterful work, ""The Civil Sphere"", addresses this central paradox of modern life. Feelings for others - the solidarity that is ignored or underplayed by theories of power or self-interest - are at the heart of this novel inquiry into the meeting place between normative theories of what we think we should do and empirical studies of who we actually are. A grand and sweeping statement, ""The Civil Sphere"" is a major contribution to our thinking about the real, but ideal world in which we all reside 606 $aCivil society 606 $aCultural pluralism 606 $aSocial interaction 615 0$aCivil society. 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 615 0$aSocial interaction. 676 $a300 700 $aAlexander$b Jeffrey C.$f1947-$039909 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827694403321 996 $aThe civil sphere$94061102 997 $aUNINA
