Reviews
Mark Lilla, author of The Once and Future Liberal: After Identity Politics:
Defining the Age captures like no other book on Daniel Bell the range of his interests, the reach of his learning, and the drama of the historical moment in which he lived. Anyone interested in Bell and modern social theory will have to read this book.
