In Part II of the book, I consider a wide swath of human thought, but to help trace the trajectory of the argument I will begin with a short summary. Bear with me for a few pages. I will explain the ideas in more detail, but I suspect that an overall map of the argument will help keep the author and reader on a shared track. My purpose is to lay out a way of thinking about people in society that I hope will be both instructive and encouraging in what can sometimes feel like a bleak time. More specifically, I hope to show that there are productive ways of building towards and then applying a modest conception of the rule of law that can provide concrete help in steering our societies through our new age of anxiety.
