À propos de cet audio

This is a book about hope in the midst of a polarized culture. Camosy begins with a hopeful starting point in the midst of a crumbling US political culture. Two of every three Americans constitute an “exhausted majority” who reject right/left polarization and are open to alternative viewpoints.

Especially at this time of realignment, we have been given a unique moment to put aside the frothy, angsty political debates and think harder about our deepest values. A consistent life ethic, especially one which embraces Pope Francis’ challenge to resist “throwaway culture”, has the capacity to unite people who, for the last several decades, imagined themselves in a polarized culture war.

On issues ranging from hook-up culture, reproductive technology, abortion, euthanasia, poverty, immigration, treatment of animals, and mass incarceration, this book articulates a new moral vision in which a culture of encounter and hospitality replaces a consumer culture in which the most vulnerable get used and discarded as so much trash.

At the bottom, Camosy offers listeners a golden opportunity to dialogue about what kinds of values should serve as the foundation for a new political culture.
