Summary: | Sheldon Wolin has been a leading political theorist since the 1960 publication of Politics and Vision, in which he explored the influence of imagination on ideals and institutions. Along the way he has engaged figures usually confined to theology, including Augustine and Luther, but only recently has he captured the attention of theologians. For example, in The State of the University, Stanley Hauerwas enlisted Wolin for his analysis of the conflation of liberal theory and democratic practice and the assumption that the primary political “we” for Christians is the “civic nation” rather than the church. |
