Overview
Reinterpreting the American Dream is a uniquely pragmatic book on ethics and religion in today's world. Primeaux uncovers the complexity of human nature, in all of its potential for evolution. Though written from a Catholic viewpoint, the book encourages openness in the search for truth, postulating that this quest is the ultimate meaning in life. In an approach that emphasizes honesty with respect for others, and pragmatism with an eye for growth, the author sets the stage for those individuals who want to escape from the "disconnections of independence and the connections of dependence into the interconnections of interdependence." A challenging read on a personal level, yet highly applicable to business ethics and the larger society, "Reinterpreting the American Dream" will be of interest to philosophers, sociologists, students of ethics and the general educated public.Synopsis
Beginning with the thesis that human beings are a complex combination of drives, needs, and forces, who consist simultaneously of physical, rational, emotional, and spiritual selves, Primeaux, a Catholic priest and theologian, examines what it means to be human, offering suggestions for ways to become more aware of our potential. In so doing he presents a religious ethics that can reside within the postmodern world. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
