About this Item

'After an eloquent and moving analysis of what he sees as the disillusion of themodern age, Lippmann posits as the central dilemma of liberalism its inability to find an appropriate substitute for the older forms of authority- church, state, class, family, law, custom that it has denied. Lippmann attempts to find a way out of this chaos through the acceptance of a higher humanism and a way of life inspired by the ideal of "disinterestedness" in all things'. viii, 348pp. Bright, clean interior. Unmarked except for a previous owner's details to the ffep. Tight, square binding, sound hinges. No wear to the cloth but some sun-fading to the rear boards and to the spine. Unpacked weight, 624g.
