The political discourse in America has reached a critical point, with raw and bitter emotions such as anger and resentment dominating the landscape. In this insightful exploration of our nation's divergent roots, author Seth Radwell argues that only reasoned analysis and historical perspective can provide a balm for the irrational political discourse that currently plagues us.

Two distinct Americas have coexisted since the founding of our country, and Radwell's research reveals that the surprising origin of these dual Americas was not an Enlightenment, but two distinct Enlightenments that have been fiercely competing ever since. Radwell contends that by embracing Enlightenment principles, Americans can build a civilized, progressive, and tolerant society.

American Schism delves into the roots of the rifts in America since its founding and identifies the core issues that underlie the current division between red and blue America. It offers a detailed plan for moving forward, embarking on a long process of repair and reconciliation. Radwell's approach radically changes the nature of the political debate by employing reason to counter unreason, enabling readers to firmly ground their differing perspectives in rationality.

By examining the historical roots of our nation's divisions, American Schism provides a valuable roadmap for bridging the gaps and fostering a more unified and inclusive society. It is a timely and essential read for anyone seeking to understand the current political climate and contribute to positive change.
