Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Conservatives and progressives rarely agree on muchbut one thing many agree upon is that its not OK to be a moderate. This book shows they are wrong.In Why Its OK to be a Moderate, Marcus Arvan shows how many of historys worst evils have resulted from far-right and far-left radicalism, how escalating conflicts between conservatives and progressives are undermining democracy, and how many widely hailed social and political achievements have been achieved by moderates and radicals working in constructive tension with each other.Using philosophy, science, and historical analysis, Arvan shows that critics of moderates tend to equate them with spineless centrists, but that most moderates arent centrists, falling into diverse categories across the political spectrum. Arvan then shows that although radicals tend to be popular in their era, many of them have gone down in infamy, while many moderates, like Abraham Lincoln or Clement Attlee, have endured short-term unpopularity to make history.Arvan shows that its OK to be a moderate precisely because not everyone should be one. He makes this case to you, showing that whatever your reasonable political ideology may be, things tend to go best politically when radicals and moderates effectively complement each others virtues while counterbalancing the others vices.Key FeaturesUses science and historical analysis to show that while liberals and conservatives may have some political virtues, radicals on both sides of the political spectrum tend to display twelve political vices that undermine democracyExplores how Aristotles idea of the Golden Mean and Buddhisms Middle Way might be used to better understand far-left and far-right mistakes in the UK, US, Continental Europe, and IndiaShows how moderates are a leading political demographic, existing in greater numbers than liberals or conservatives while falling into diverse categories across the political spectrumDocuments how radicalism has underwritten many of historys worst political events, along with many of the most widely acknowledged political problems of the 20th and 21st centuriesDemonstrates to the reader that things tend to go best politically when radicals and moderates work in constructive tension with each other, and worst when there arent enough moderates Conservatives and progressives rarely agree on muchbut one thing many agree upon is that its not OK to be a moderate. This book shows they are wrong. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
