The Human RenaissanceThe author’s bookshelf
The Eternal Renaissance is the flagship. The connected books explore practice, historical witness, American life, and the wider human future.
What kind of person must we become to live well, share a republic, and govern extraordinary power? Each book approaches that question from a different direction. These pages introduce the current development and revision work. The publication history below distinguishes earlier independently published editions from the work now taking shape.
01 / The flagship
A sustained inquiry into the formation of the human being: what tragedy teaches us about suffering, what virtue asks of us in ordinary life, and what increasingly powerful technology makes necessary.

A Memoir of Race, Ruin, Reinvention, and the Unfinished Republic
