London England: Andre Deutsch. Very Good/Very Good. 1970. New Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0233961976 Hardback Hardback. The Vital Center. Previous pwners name and date written very neatly and small to inside cover. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Price clipped to D/J. With a New Foreword by the Author. This book is a classic statement of American Liberalism, a cogent and brilliantly argued plea for the values of tolerance and reason. Today, when the term 'liberal' is often used as abuse by the Left as well as the Right, it is as relevant and as salutary as ever. The author considsers that the liberal centre is threatened as much by the myopic crassness of business plutocracies as by the totalitarian faiths which, he believes offer bewildered and alienated men an escape from the burdens and responsibilities of freedom. Yet he is also a liberal with a cutting edge and a pessimistic realisation of the weaknesses and fallibility of men; he has no time for the vacillations and compromises of those liberals who attempt to simplify complex ussues and appease those forces that threaten the centre. A re-issue of thise humane, witty and vigoriously written book is both timely and important. 274 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .

The Vital Center: The Politics of Freedom Schlesinger, Arthur Meier, Jr. / Schlesinger, Jr. / Schlesinger, Milton Ed. The Vital Center is an eloquent and incisive defense of liberal democracy against its rivals to the left and to the right, communism and fascism. It shows how the failures of free society had led to the mass escape from freedom and sharpened the appeal of totalitarian solutions. It calls for a radical reconstruction of the democratic faith based on a realistic understanding of human limitation and frailty. "Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible", as Reinhold Niebuhr put it, "but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary". Though times and problems have changed, the spirit of The Vital Center -- liberalism without illusions -- remains as live and crucial as ever. Now this remarkable book is available to new generations.
