The Soul of America:
Essays on the 4th of July
​
Given the culture wars during the past decades, one can ask a few vital questions: What actually holds Americans together? What does it mean to be an American in the first place? Is America really that polarized?
The Soul of America addresses these points and more. The simple, yet also not-so-simple answer is embedded in yet one more question: “If Americans no longer believe in the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address, can America continue to exist?”
The major proposition of this work is that America consists in a set of beliefs—truths—that bind us together. It's what makes us Americans. And without that belief, no Constitution, no laws, except the point of a sword, can keep us together.
