Peu de sujets de l'actualité contemporaine ne sauraient trouver dans l'œuvre de Christopher Lasch des explications de fond. Son analyse est d'une puissance critique inégalée parce qu'il évite l'écueil de ceux qui critiquent le capitalisme contemporain tout en présentant ses dégâts comme le prix du progrès matériel et moral. Chronique de la rencontre programmée entre la fuite en progrès, c'est-à-dire la destruction méthodique au nom du principe de plaisir de tous les piliers de l'ordre bourgeois et la rationalisation de tous les aspects de la vie par la dynamique du capitalisme, la critique du progrès de Lasch est fondée sur l'étude de la personnalité dominante produite par le capitalisme avancé : Narcisse ou le moi minimal. Au travers des grands thèmes qui traversent la pensée de Lasch – l'ascendance du moi narcissique, le mirage d'une « science pure de la société », la construction d'un État thérapeutique, la substitution de la méritocratie à l'idéal d'une société sans classe en tant qu'incarnation du rêve américain – l'ouvrage présente un panorama des diagnostics toujours justes de Lasch sur son temps et sur la catastrophe anthropologique du capitalisme de consommation. Il expose aussi la philosophie de l'espérance que Lasch a articulée au travers de l'exploration d'une tradition civique américaine dont la redécouverte offre des pistes au monde entier afin de faire en sorte que la volonté de construire une société meilleure demeure vivace sur les décombres encore fumants de la social-démocratie.

The problem of trust in social relationships was central to the emergence of the modern form of civil society and much discussed by social and political philosophers of the early modern period. Over the past few years, in response to the profound changes associated with postmodernity, trust has returned to the attention of political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy analysts. In this sequel to his widely admired book, The Idea of Civil Society, Adam Seligman analyzes trust as a fundamental issue of our present social relationships. Setting his discussion in historical and intellectual context, Seligman asks whether trust--which many contemporary critics, from Robert Putnam through Francis Fukuyama, identify as essential in creating a cohesive society--can continue to serve this vital role.Seligman traverses a wide range of examples, from the minutiae of everyday manners to central problems of political and economic life, showing throughout how civility and trust are being displaced in contemporary life by new "external' system constraints inimical to the development of trust. Disturbingly, Seligman shows that trust is losing its unifying power precisely because the individual, long assumed to be the ultimate repository of rights and values, is being reduced to a sum of group identities and an abstract matrix of rules. The irony for Seligman is that, in becoming postmodern, we seem to be moving backward to a premodern condition in which group sanctions rather than trust are the basis of group life.
