Michael Lerner
The Politics of
Meaning : Restoring Hope and Possibility in an Age of Cynicism
Amazon.com
Michael Lerner, former radical and crusading editor of the magazine of Jewish thought,Tikkun, has never
lost his idealism. Until now Lerner has been promoting his ideas, dubbed "the
politics of meaning," through his magazine and in lectures and workshops around the
country. He won praise from Hillary Clinton, although that soured under media spotlight.
This book lays out his analysis of America's spiritual emptiness, encouraging direct
political action to enlarge the sense of community. He rejects both the right's
profit-oriented bottom line and the left's splintering of society into minority rights
ghettoes. Though his ideas are rooted in Judaism, his concept of God is broadly inclusive,
and his critique is relevant to all Americans.
Drawing on ideas presented in the
Bible, Jewish teachings, and his experience as a psychotherapist, Lerner examines the
roots of the vague discontent felt by so many Americans about our political system and
explains how values can be put back into these broken politics. "An important,
engaging book."--The New York Times.
