Acknowledgments Introduction Political Moderation: Balancing the Extremes Personal Moderation: Taming the Excess Philosophical Moderation: Tempering the Mind Conclusion Notes Bibliography Suggested Readings Index
Readers will be dazzled as Clor takes an old and neglected virtue and gives it a fully modern analysis. -James Ceaser, Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia Balanced, widely informed, gracefully written, and exhibiting a generous spirit... Recommended. General readers through research faculty. -- CHOICE Clor's readable pages are an antidote to both moralistic absolutism and amoral relativism and are written in a style that is ruminative and well illustrated and does not talk down to the nonspecialist. This book is valuable because it doesn't simply celebrate moderation, but locates moderation among the other virtues. -- The Christian Century
