A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism
Autor Adam Gopniken Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mai 2019
TheNew
York
Times-bestselling
author
offers
a
stirring
defense
of
liberalism
against
the
dogmatisms
of
our
time
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
Sanitiesis
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.
