The theory of liberty here propounded by Simon, along with his
analysis of authority, democracy, and practical wisdom, contains
the elements of a political philosophy that can provide direction
to other contemporary political theorists of our times. While the
latter have gathered great masses of political facts, they have
lacked a normative set of ideas that can make these facts
meaningful and useful to political society. Simon's position as a
philosopher rather than as a political scientist, is that while
there is a science of social and political facts, a normative moral
philosophy that knows the ends of human action is necessary because
people make good or bad use of their freedom. As always, Simon here
writes with a lucidity and moderation that will be satisfying to
reasonable people looking for a way out of skepticism and
uncertainty. He was no dogmatist, but he knew what he knew and what
he did not know. This is the beginning of wisdom and a model for
philosophers.
