Synopsis

The most incisive comment on politics to-day is indifference. When men and women begin to feel that elections and legislatures do not matter very much, that politics is a rather distant and unimportant exercise, the reformer might as well put to himself a few searching doubts. Indifference is a criticism that cuts beneath oppositions and wranglings by calling the political method itself into question. Leaders in public affairs recognize this. They know that no attack is so disastrous as silence, that no invective is so blasting as the wise and indulgent smile of the people who do not care. I have put forward a preliminary sketch for a theory of politics, a preface to thinking. Like all speculation about human affairs, it is the result of a grapple with problems as they appear in the experience of one man. For though a personal vision may at times assume an eloquent and universal language, it is well never to forget that all philosophies are the language of particular men.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Walter Lippmann (1889-1974) was an American writer, journalist, and political commentator whose work profoundly shaped twentieth-century public discourse. A founding editor of The New Republic and later a widely syndicated columnist, Lippmann combined philosophical inquiry with practical political observation. His major works-including A Preface to Politics, Public Opinion, and The Phantom Public-explored the relationship between democracy, mass media, and public understanding. He was twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize for commentary and remains one of the most influential political thinkers of his era.
