Mobilisée un peu partout et tous azimuts, incriminée ou exaltée, définie ou imprécise, la notion d’individu semble désormais au cœur d’une « nouvelle » représentation de la vie sociale. Fort de ce constat, cet ouvrage s’engage, sans concessions, dans une réflexion sur les défis que cette orientation analytique pose à la sociologie. Le propos s’organise autour de trois grandes problématiques : celle des « supports » permettant à l’individu de faire face à l’injonction d’autonomie ; celle des ressorts collectifs au fondement des représentations de l’individu contemporain ; celle des pistes analytiques nouvelles auxquelles il confronte désormais la sociologie. Cette réflexion est mise à l’épreuve à travers une série de thèmes d’actualité dont les auteurs sont spécialistes : le vieillissement, la précarité, l’ethnicité, les politiques sociales, l’accouchement sous X, les soins palliatifs, la domesticité, la maladie grave ou encore le travail à l’école.

In Toward a Liberalism, Richard Flathman shows why and how political theory can contribute to the quality of moral and political practice without violating, as empiricist- and idealist-based theories tend to do, liberal commitments to individuality and plurality. Exploring the tense but inevitable relationship between liberalism and authority, he advances a theory of democratic citizenship tempered by appreciation of the ways in which citizenship is implicated with and augments authority. Flathman examines the relationship of individual rights to freedom on one hand and to authority and power on the other, rejecting the quest for a single homogenous and authoritative liberal theory.

To be a U.S. citizen is to be a member of a constitutional order that requires political unity but is also committed to social and cultural diversity. How do we solve the riddle of the one and the many? What is, in Tom Paine's words, "the constitution of the people"?This is a perennial question that goes to the heart of American society and that increasingly shapes public debates about the health of our body politic. To answer it, Robert Calvert, a political scientist, has collected original essays by six distinguished scholars who are among the most influential interpreters of the American scene today.The essays included in this book are united by the effort to understand America's identity in a way that does justice to the paradoxes and pluralities of its politics. Each seeks to find some middle ground between a government too intrusive and citizens too removed from public life, a balance between particular freedom and common purpose. Vigorously argued, lively, and accessible to the general reader, these essays challenge much of contemporary thought on the meaning of American constitutionalism.
