<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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. <p/>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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As political theorists try to discern the distinguishing features of democratic political order... they can profit from the thoughtful, theoretically sophisticated formulations of Simon."-- "--American Political Science Review"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Yves R. Simon is author of several books, including<i> The Definition of Moral Virtue </i>and <i>The Tradition of Natural Law </i>available from Fordham University Press.
