About the Author

Philip Gorski is a distinguished sociologist and author whose work bridges the gaps between academia, public discourse, and political theory. With a keen eye for the intersections of religion, democracy, and social change, Gorski has dedicated his career to examining how historical forces shape contemporary American society. His scholarship challenges conventional narratives, urging readers to confront the threats to democratic institutions in an era of rising authoritarianism. In Antidemocracy in America: Truth, Power, and the Republic at Risk (Public Books Series), Gorski assembles a compelling array of essays that dissect the erosion of truth and power in the public sphere, offering incisive critiques and pathways toward renewal. A professor at Yale University, he continues to influence debates on civic responsibility and the future of the republic through his rigorous, accessible prose.
