Political science: Moral dialogues and our understanding of American politics

Publication date: March 2018Source: The Social Science Journal, Volume 55, Issue 1Author(s): Nicholas P. LovrichAbstractThis commentary focuses on the connection between Etzioni’s moral dialogues conception and the concepts of social capital, civil society and the ultimate outcome to be anticipated from the election of Donald Trump in 2016. The optimist view that a progressive social movement is in the making is called somewhat into question given the well documented decline in the very institutions and trust-based norms essential for the moral dialogues in question to transpire.
