Robert B. Talisse

Recenzje

There is much to admire about Talisse's thoughtful and, at times, endearingly personal reflections on the partisanship of US politics. Talisse has a knack for weaving anecdotes from his own experiences reaching across the proverbial aisle with astute observations about the moral demandingness of democracy as an ideal. Readers unfamiliar with the political science on this topic will also benefit from Talisse's impressive synthesis of empirical research from political psychology and voting behavior, which details the troubling change in mindset that occurs when our party identities morph into social and cultural ones.
