American Exceptionalism provokes intense debates culturally,
economically, politically, and socially. This collection, edited by
Charles W. Dunn of Regent University's Robertson School of Government,
brings together analysis of the idea's origins, history and future.
Contributors include: Hadley Arkes, Michael Barone, James W. Ceasar,
Charles W. Dunn, Daniel L. Dreisbach, T. David Gordon, Steven Hayward,
Hugh Heclo, Marvin J. Kolkertsma, William Kristol, and George H. Nash.
While many now argue against the policies and ideology of American
Exceptionalism as antiquated and expired, the authors collected here
make the bold claim that a closer reading of our own history reveals
that there is still an exceptional aspect of American thought,
identity and government worth advancing and protecting. It will be the
challenge of the coming American generations to both refine and
examine what we mean when we call America "exceptional," and this book
provides readers a first step towards a necessary understanding of the
exceptional purpose, progress and promise of the United States of
America.
