A stirring defense of liberalism against the dogmatisms of our time
from an award-winning and New York Times bestselling author. Not
since the early twentieth century has liberalism, and liberals,
been under such relentless attack, from both right and left. The
crisis of democracy in our era has produced a crisis of faith in
liberal institutions and, even worse, in liberal thought. A
Thousand Small Sanities is a manifesto rooted in the lives of
people who invented and extended the liberal tradition. Taking us
from Montaigne to Mill, and from Middlemarch to the civil rights
movement, Adam Gopnik argues that liberalism is not a form of
centrism, nor simply another word for free markets, nor merely a
term denoting a set of rights. It is something far more ambitious:
the search for radical change by humane measures. Gopnik shows us
why liberalism is one of the great moral adventures in human
history -- and why, in an age of autocracy, our lives may depend on
its continuation.
