Program Description
St. Louis County Library Foundation’s Westfall Politics & History Series Presents U.S. Senator Chris Murphy
Author of “Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America”
Today, the United States is in a crisis—and it’s not just a political one: over fifty years, the pursuit of profit has undermined virtue and character, while too many of us have become convinced that happiness results from acting as good consumers, rather than as good citizens. The result: Americans have lost the sense of daily purpose and connection that are vital to happiness, becoming anxious, angry, and adrift. In “Crisis of the Common Good,” Senator Chris Murphy draws on history and political philosophy to offer a new politics of the common good that is both deeply rooted in our past and a radical challenge to the status quo.
Chris Murphy has represented Connecticut in the U.S. Senate since 2013. A previous member of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Connecticut state legislature, he is known for his work to combat gun violence, political corruption, and the scourge of loneliness in America.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
