About this title

Synopsis

Common Good, The: Its Politics, Policies And Philosophy by Raskin, Marcus G.

Reviews

This is a rousing populist book. In an old American tradition, Raskin wants to return power to the grass roots, trust to the international arena, and the ideal of a common good to the American consciousness. Honorable sentiments, but the book is torn by tension. We must go back to the people, but we must also lead them. We see the idea of a rational and "natural" international law accepted but the "Platonism" that usually goes with it rejected. Raskin believes that such tension can be dissolved through education, which will eventually lead most people to see that the communitarianism he espouses is correct. But may not some people, even educated, still want a Ronald Reagan? Leslie Armour, Philosophy Dept., Univ. of Ottawa, Canada
