A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Foreword A moral approach to the subject of democracy may not seem unusual to most people, but to many political scientists it will appear naive or novel or unrealistically antique. The political scientist who emphasizes the science in his profession or who thinks of his subject as morally neutral will find Professor Hallowell streatment challenging. The resurgence, however, of the reahsts, the traditionalists, the A ristotelians, or the neo-scholastics whatever name they choose to be known by brings to the fore the ancient conviction that morals, in the sense of the choice of the right means (characterized by the virtue of prudence) to rationally determined objective ends, lie at the very foundation of politics. Professor Hallowell scontributions in this field have been outstanding,, and the present work, based upon his Walgreen Foundation lectures, is offered for the better understanding of his school of thought.

With some minor revisions, this book consists of six lectures which were given at the University of Chicago in the spring of 1952 under the auspices of the Charles R. Walgreen Foundation for the Study of American Institutions. And I should like to take this Opportunity to thank the Foundation and especially its chairman, Professor Jerome G.
