The papers assembled in this book originated from, and span, the recent decades of intensive economic globalization and international interaction—up to the present period of the commercialized, digital world—accompanied by American and international crisis. High hopes of the benefits of trade expansion, international cooperation, growing prosperity and a "rules-based" international order have given way to the unpredictable contingencies of human action and history, pandemics, severe economic and social dislocations, domestic division, frequent political dysfunction and growing threats of intensified international conflict. This book places contemporary problems of American democracy and the threat of authoritarian systems within the context of the success and failures of American history, problems of moral authority in American society and the need for political and moral balance in the US constitutional system.

Professor H.G. Callaway has published widely in the US and in Europe on the philosophy of language and mind, starting with Context for Meaning and Analysis (1993), and on American moral-intellectual history. He holds a doctorate in Philosophy and, has lectured and taught at universities both in the US and in Europe, and at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. His work includes scores of professional articles and reviews, critical editions of works by R.W. Emerson and William James and a critical study of the writings of Edmund Burke—focused on the American crisis of the eighteenth century. Callaway's collection of essays, Pluralism, Pragmatism and American Democracy: A Minority Report was published in 2017. More recently, he published studies of Alexander Hamilton and the politics of the Gilded Age (2019) and a book focused on Lincoln Steffens and Gilded Age corruption and reform (2020). His most recent published volume is a critical edition of William James, Essays in Radical Empiricism (2022).
