| Summary: | Are Americans burning themselves out from stress? Have the living conditions and the pace of the modern urban lifestyle made the attainment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness impossible? In Twilight's Last Gleaming, James R. Cooper proposes a startling new program to salvage the American dream through a national policy emphasis on renewal of our cities. Cooper's approach is interdisciplinary, ranging from Hobbes to Locke, from suggested changes in the Supreme Court to the nature of human sexuality. Above all, Cooper urges that Americans make a "paradigm shift" in the way they think about the goals they pursue. He demonstrates how new strategies will make living in our cities a rewarding experience and will help America to resume its historic role as a wellspring of democratic progress. |
