Product Description

Product Description
First published in 1985, "Habits of the Heart" continues to be one of the most discussed interpretations of modern American society, a quest for a democratic community that draws on our diverse civic and religious traditions. In a new preface the authors relate the arguments of the book both to the current realities of American society and to the growing debate about the country's future. With this new edition one of the most influential books of recent times takes on a new immediacy.

3.0 out of 5 stars A social scientific nightmare, 9 April 1998
By A Customer
This book is an interesting read but is so sloppy in its scientific approach that it makes the serious student of social science want to cry. Though Bellah argues that social science must be like public philosphy, the reader still wonders whether he takes this stuff seriously or not. A more disciplined approach would have been warranted for such sweeping conclusions.END

5.0 out of 5 stars The best mirror of the American psyche, 12 Jun 1999
By A Customer
It is not easy, nor obvious, to understand what makes "the American mind" tick! HOTH gives us a skeleton on which we can hang our observations. Guess what, it is a great framework. 5-Stars all the way in spite of the fact this wasn't *pleasure* reading. A must read!
