Philosophers in the liberal tradition, although they disagree on many important questions, agree that moral and political problems should be looked at from an objective point of view and a decision made from a distant perspective that is both rational and universally applied to all comparable cases. Fleming instead places importance on the particular, the local, and moral complexity. -- About the Author: Thomas Fleming holds a doctorate in classics and is the editor of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture, published by the Rockford Institute in Rockford, Illinois. He is the author or coauthor of several books, including The Politics of Human Nature and The Conservative Movement. -- with a bonus offer-- .
