	Amitai Etzioni \| American Sociological Association
		Amitai’s efforts to reach out beyond the ranks of the sociological profession have not so much popularized sociology, at least in the pejorative sense, as they have communicated its importance and potential usefulness to the world at large.
		For Amitai this twofold agenda--“passion” might be a more apt term—does not constitute a bifurcation of his interests and energy; instead it has been both a logical and moral imperative to press sociological knowledge into the service of the wider public good.
		So when Amitai talks about the need to support the family conservatives of various stripes cheer; but when he goes on to say that in doing so we must be prepared to provide opportunities for parents--men and women equally--to take off from work to care for their infants, the same conservatives object.

	DLC: Etzioni's Latest by Fred Siegel
		Etzioni rejects the excesses of rights-based radicalism on both the left and the right, and argues for a centrist path to the good society that does more than try to split the difference between competing ideologies.
		Etzioni's communitarianism is an attempt to return to the pre-1968 solidarities of American life while incorporating the important innovations produced by the civil rights and feminist movements.
		Etzioni argues for what he calls a "soft morality." Communitarian morality is soft, he explains, "not because its tenets are but because its enforcement comes" less through the government's special-interest bureaucracies than from persuasion and the establishment of community norms that shame rather than coerce.

	AMITAI ETZIONI'S RESPONSIVE COMMUNITY: A FLAWED PARADIGM
		Etzioni tries to give a normative justification for values by referring to the criteria of: 1) consensus-building within and across communities and societies, and 2) the manner in which values promote the basic social virtues that he claims are self-evident.
		Etzioni believes that members of a community must feel that they have some core beliefs and values in common that are worth sacrificing for — otherwise, they will not look beyond their narrow partisan interests.
		Etzioni's repudiation of the right of the rider to choose with respect to helmets and seat belts is predicated on the supposed existence of another right — that the injured person has the positive right to be cared for at the expense of the public.

		Etzioni has a difficult task in explaining how miscreants are to be made to conform if their behavior is simply anti-social and not illegal.

	Community, Yes. But Whose? by Roger Scruton, Amitai Etzioni, City Journal Spring 1997
		Etzioni agrees that rights and freedoms must be paid for with responsibilities and duties, and agrees that the state cannot take charge of maintaining the web of reciprocal obligation on which society depends.
		Etzioni appears to take for granted that the Constitution is that dynamic thing that the Supreme Court, under successive liberal majorities, has imagined it to be: the constantly evolving instrument for preventing one citizen from imposing his values on another—in other words, the organized enemy of community in its traditional forms.
		Etzioni is aware that a society cannot survive without families, without enduring commitments, without an endless web of obligation that ties us to the unborn and the dead (though he avoids being too explicit on the point)—in short, without a "we" that is something more than the contract between "I"s.

	reviews :: books :: next, etzioni
		Amitai Etzioni, professor of sociology at George Washington University, has emerged as one of the leaders of the new, centrist political philosophy called communitarianism.
		Etzioni envisions a society in which many, if not most, of these basics are provided by communities, but he acknowledges that the final responsibility for any guaranteed standard of living will rest with the government.
		In Etzioni's ideal society, community members care for one another, but his conclusion is inescapable: even in a society where the government is not the first source of social services, it must be the final one, though his preference is that even then this support would come through community organizations.

	Online NewsHour: A Conversation with Amitai Etzioni-July 17, 2000
		AMITAI ETZIONI: I couldn't agree more, but today, that was for me a very interesting finding which I did not anticipate when I started the book, the major danger to privacy in these United States these days does not come from the government and therefore is not dependent on courts and police and search.
		AMITAI ETZIONI: Well, I grant you, that's a very severe challenge, and again, I'll be quick to admit there are no perfect solutions -- we may have to keep rewriting the laws as technology.
		AMITAI ETZIONI: It allows you to protect other people around you and protect you from abusing them just because you claim that your home is your castle.

	Pharyngula::Responding to a request from Amitai Etzioni
		Some pompous egotist named Amitai Etzioni has solicited responses from the contributors to the Panda's Thumb to his comments on the teaching of intelligent design.
		Amitai Etzioni has made a career of making ridiculous and internally contradictory statements in the social sciences that are unsupported by anything so pedestrian as evidence.
		It could be to our advantage that people like Etzioni put the subject in front of the public (or the limitied public that listens to him) because it creates a forum for letting that public know that ID may be talked about as a philosophical/social concept, just like religion...

	SASE: SASE 1999 Tribute to Amitai Etzioni by Philip Selznick
		Amitai Etzioni is someone I've known since the 1950s when he came as a brash young student to Berkeley to graduate study in what was then our very lively and eminent Department of Sociology and Amitai went through the program in record time.
		So it is saying nothing much at all to say that I am very proud to count Amitai Etzioni as a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley.
		This is the kind of complexity to which Amitai has drawn attention, a complexity which demands intellectual and moral breadth.
