"Blessed Be the Ties That Bind"
by Jonathan Chaplin
Civil society is currently a topic of vigorous intellectual
disagreement. On the one hand, it is celebrated as the
source of numerous social goods: a key to the sustenance
of social capital; a necessary contributor to the renewal
of liberal democracy; an indispensable conduit for the
flourishing of personal responsibility; a vital check on the
depredations of an intrusive state;and an essential theatre
of democratic resistance to authoritarian and oppressive
regimes.
