A thought-provoking conversation with Seth David Radwell, author of “American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing Our Nation,” which won the International Book Award for Best General Nonfiction last year. In this webinar, we unpacked the divides across the United States, including how historical, cultural, and psychological factors contribute to the polarization we see today – and how all of us, particularly advocates, can be part of healing those divides. This discussion covers:
- The role of competing Enlightenment traditions in shaping our political and cultural landscape; –
The intersection of identity, religion, and ideology in the current climate of division;
- The “magical formula” that can be distilled from the analysis of the schism across various periods of our history; and
- The imperative for all of us today if we are to bestow a democratic republic to the next generation.
This webinar is ideal for anyone interested in understanding the root causes of America’s polarization, fostering more empathetic and productive conversations, and supporting our collective move forward through repair and reconciliation.
