Summary

Moral leadership matters. As world politics enter a new and dangerous era, judgment, constancy, moral purpose, and a willingness to overcome partisan politicking are essential for America's leaders. Tempered Strength finds the alternative standard of leadership that Americans are seeking in the classical philosophy of prudence. Ethan Fishman's new work brings together leading American political scientists -- including Ronald Beiner, Kenneth L. Deutsch, and George Anastaplo -- to discuss the evolution of a standard of prudential leadership both reasonable in nature and practical in scope.
