WHAT DOES AMERICA MEAN? by Alexander Meiklejohn

WHAT DOES AMERICA MEAN?

By

ISBN: 0393006581
Publisher: Norton

One of the outstanding men in the development of the educational system of American universities -- a man who has been decried as a radical, Meiklejohn here shares his findings in life in a brilliant analysis of the idealistic view of the American idea. He looks at the theory of liberty, not as defined in action but in thought, and proves that individualism gone haywire blocks liberty rather than extending it. A stimulating book -- one that should find a market with the college students who are seeking a measuring rod, with thoughtful people everywhere.
