Review:
Synopsis:
"Harvey C. Mansfield displays his formidable intellectualism and classical scholarship in support of the proposition that the American constitution possesses a formal truth drawn from its foundations and exerted through its development... In what is a provocatively trenchant book, Mansfield takes relish in propelling his readers down the rats' maze of liberal arguments supporting a conservative outlook. Herein lies the real soul of American politics."
(Political Studies)"Provides 'food for thought' for both 'left' and 'right,' and in particular for the American citizens about whom this book is concerned."
(Bradley A. Kletscher Constitutional Commentary)In "America's Constitutional Soul", Harvey Mansfield - a political theorist and thinker on the Constitution - describes what's wrong with American politics today and what political scientists can do about it. Beginning with a chronicle of the Reagan elections, Mansfield shows how American politics reveals its nature by the way it pictures the Constitution. He takes aim at the vaunted "realism" of contemporary political scientists, contrasting it with the real-world successes of those early practitioners of the art who actually helped define a whole new form of government - and with it such concepts as federalism, a strong executive and judicial review.
