Moderate Conservatism

In Moderate Conservatism: Reclaiming the Center John Kekes offers a way forward for those who are alarmed by the current state of politics in America. Kekes makes a reasoned case for moderation, the defense of the United States' constitutional democracy, and a criticism of all forms of political extremism. The U.S. political system has endured because the Constitution has guided the balance of the often-conflicting claims of justice, liberty, equality, prosperity, and security on which the well-being of all American citizens depend.
