La philosophie communautarienne est un puissant courant de philosophie politique très présent aux Etats-Unis et au Canada. En réaction au succès et aux excès de la philosophie libérale, il valorise le rapport vivant à des traditions spécifiques et les pratiques solidaires vécues au sein d’attachements communautaires. L’auteur organise le débat entre ces deux courants philosophiques qui se complètent et se corrigent bien davantage qu’ils ne s’opposent. Philosophie communautarienne et philosophie libérale s’invitent aux débats, parfois houleux, qui traversent les différents courants de la classe politique démocratique, ainsi laïcité inclusive versus laïcité républicaine, préservation des identités culturelles versus cosmopolitisme des citoyens du monde, luttes pour la reconnaissance versus luttes pour la redistribution. Les thèses des quatre auteurs majeurs – MacIntyre, Walzer, Taylor et Sandel – sont abordées et illustrées par les œuvres de sociologues communautariens peu connus en Europe, ainsi de Barber, Etzioni et Putnam. Un dernier chapitre est consacré à la présence insistante de ces thématiques dans les discours de Barak Obama.

"Richard Gebhart traces the Atlantic-bound voyages of Great Lakes ships, recovering the voices of long-ago ship captains, along with their cargo manifests and itineraries. Drawing on research in old newspapers and maritime archives, he traces the construction of new ships and shipyards, the comings and goings and travails of the lakes' workhorses, and makes a visit to a boneyard where many ships ended their lives. Among many other lost tales, Gebhart brings back to light the rise of oil tankers, marking the great twentieth-century energy transition in shipping"--

Spirits of Protestantism reveals how liberal Protestants went from being early-twentieth-century medical missionaries seeking to convert others through science and scripture, to becoming vocal critics of missionary arrogance who experimented with non-western healing modes such as Yoga and Reiki. Drawing on archival and ethnographic sources, Pamela E. Klassen shows how and why the very notion of healing within North America has been infused with a Protestant "supernatural liberalism." In the course of coming to their changing vision of healing, liberal Protestants became pioneers three times over: in the struggle against the cultural and medical pathologizing of homosexuality; in the critique of Christian missionary triumphalism; and in the diffusion of an ever-more ubiquitous anthropology of "body, mind, and spirit." At a time when the political and anthropological significance of Christianity is being hotly debated, Spirits of Protestantism forcefully argues for a reconsideration of the historical legacies and cultural effects of liberal Protestantism, even for the anthropology of religion itself.
