The defect, Sandel maintains, lies in the impoverished vision of citizenship and community shared by Democrats and Republicans alike. American politics has lost its civic voice, leaving both liberals and conservatives unable to inspire the sense of community and civic engagement that self-government requires.

In search of a public philosophy adequate to our time, Sandel ranges across the American political experience, recalling the arguments of Jefferson and Hamilton, Lincoln and Douglas, Holmes and Brandeis, FDR and Reagan. He relates epic debates over slavery and industrial capitalism to contemporary controversies over the welfare state, religion, abortion, gay rights, and hate speech. Democracy's Discontent provides a new interpretation of the American political and constitutional tradition that offers hope of rejuvenating our civic life.

读后感

本书的作者桑德尔，不但在美国学界大名鼎鼎，在中国学界也是名声显赫，被视为“社群主义”的主要代表人物之一，作为“自由主义”的批判者形象出现。桑德尔是哈佛大学的名教授，据说他在哈佛开设的本科课程《正义》是是哈佛有史以来注册学生最多的课程。可见其影响之大...  

以我看来，桑德尔在此书中所提出的共和主义的公共哲学，与其说是一项旨在取代康德式的程序自由主义的雄心勃勃的计划，不如说是对一种日趋式微且处于康德式自由主义话语之外的传统的重申。他批评程序自由主义放弃了对道德和价值的追问，导致了一种苍白贫乏的公民生活，因此缺乏...  

美国学者、社群主义代表人物迈克尔桑德尔2011年接受《南方都市报》采访时，被问到是否愿意听到别人称他为“社群主义者”时，他回答的很是耐人寻味：“人们之所以把我称为社群主义者（Communitarianist），是因为我确实质疑个人主义的进路，质疑我在自己的社会中所观察到的消费...  

此书是迈克尔•桑德尔教授在《自由主义与正义的局限》之后，又一本关于自由主义的著作。作者试图从公共哲学概念的角度，来探讨美国的民主体制不断再造的过程，展示并试图解释了这个时代的焦虑——自治的丧失和共同体的侵蚀。 （一） 针对公共哲学的概念，《民...  

文明是否一直是在进步的？自由主义时代的个体有多大程度上是自由的？中立，是政治哲学的最佳立场吗？儒家的复兴适合今日之中国吗？——这些问题时常在我脑海中回荡。因此，当我遇上《民主的不满》一书时，有种他乡遇故知的感觉，又好似迷雾中的航船遥望见远方的灯塔，如飞蛾扑...

原版的实在是比中文版翻译好读很多。Sandel写作有典型的美国人的风格，逻辑清晰明确，前后呼应。翻译以后这种感觉都丢失了。
