Moderation is often presented as a simple virtue for lukewarm and
indecisive minds, searching for a fuzzy center between the
extremes. Not surprisingly, many politicians do not want to be
labelled 'moderates' for fear of losing elections. Why Not
Moderation? challenges this conventional image and shows that
moderation is a complex virtue with a rich tradition and unexplored
radical sides. Through a series of imaginary letters between a
passionate moderate and two young radicals, the book outlines the
distinctive political vision undergirding moderation and makes a
case for why we need this virtue today in America. Drawing on
clearly written and compelling sources, Craiutu offers an
opportunity to rethink moderation and participate in the important
public debate on what kind of society we want to live in. His book
reminds us that we cannot afford to bargain away the liberal
civilization and open society we have inherited from our
forefathers.
