INDEPENDENT PUBLICATION BY ALEXANDER MORRIS
THAT SUMMARISES SETH DAVID RADWELL BOOK IN
DETAIL.“Those seeking to heal our divided nation should read
American Schism. In an age of unreason, Seth David Radwell
deftly conveys the history of our core values and shows us a
reasoned way forward.” ?Ana Navarro, CNN
contributor“American Schism is a vigorously written, deeply
informed intellectual tour de force and a bracing call to
nonviolent arms!' ?David J. Garrow, Pulitzer Prize-winning
author of Bearing the CrossAn enlightened exploration of
history to unite a deeply divided AmericaTwo disparate
Americas have always coexisted. In this thoroughly
researched, engaging and ultimately hopeful story of our
nation’s divergent roots, Seth David Radwell clearly links the
fascinating history of the two American Enlightenments to our
raging political division. He also demonstrates that reasoned
analysis and historical perspective are the only antidote to
irrational political discourse.“Did my vision of America ever
exist at all, or was it but a myth?” Searching for a fresh and
distinctive perspective on the recent corrosion of our civic life,
Radwell’s very personal and yet broadly shared question
propelled his search back to our nation’s founding for a fresh
and distinctive perspective on the recent corrosion of our civic

life - and led to a surprising discovery. Today’s battles reflect
the fundamentally divergent visions of our country that
emerged at our nation’s founding and have been vying for
prominence ever since. The founding principles that shaped
the United States may be rooted in the Enlightenment era. But
the origin of our dual Americas is a product of two distinct
Enlightenments - Radical and Moderate.American Schism
begins with a quick reintroduction to the pre-Enlightenment
Middle Ages and then takes readers on an in-depth journey
through the revolutionary Enlightenment period including the
eventual schism that began in Europe but then found its way to
American shores. Radwell shows the impact of this schism on
American history from the early expansion of the U.S. through
Jim Crow and The Age of Trumpism.In an optimistic and
rigorous final section, Radwell lays out an analysis of our
current governmental structure and a plan to move forward,
demonstrating that it is only by embracing Enlightenment
principles that we can build a civilized, progressive, and
tolerant society - where Americans can firmly ground their
different views in rationality. em em
