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.In his new introduction to the Transaction edition  John Patrick Diggins marks A Preface to Morals  originally published in 1929  as a critical turning point in Lippmanns intellectual career. He also provides an excellent discussion of the enduring value of this major twentieth-century work by situating it within the context of other intellectual movements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651963543605,"sku":"ByrdShop_0878559078","price":32.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780878559077.jpg?v=1781847887","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-preface-to-morals-9780878559077","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
