Zusammenfassung Political Moderation in America's First Two Centuries corrects the popular misconception of moderation as timidity and caution. The author examines the structure of moderate political thought; analyzes moderate apprehensions! values! and visions of the future; and depicts moderation! not as a life long conviction! but as a journey from other political stances toward the moral center of politics. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Augustan moderates: 'The precariousness of genuine civilization'; 2. Revolutionary moderates and the development of political character; 3. Ordered liberty in the Southern backcountry and the middle West; 4. Moderating moderation: denominational and primitive Christianity.
