Willmoore Kendall Contra Mundum

Willmoore Kendall Contra Mundum by kendall, willmoore. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780870001017.

In this work, the author invites the reader to travel along with him as he investigates many of the political questions that have long confronted our society: Congress vs. the President, is it deadlock, gridlock or two majorities? The American community, is it pluralism or orthodoxy? What do Americans mean by "All men are created equal"? Who should control our public schools? Is the genius of the American people for self-government failing? A posthumous collection originally published by 1971 by Arlington House, this reprinted edition includes for the first time Kendalls provocative essay, "The Open Society and its Fallacies"--as relevant today as when it was first written. The essays, speeches, and part of a projected book included in this work direct the readers attention to subjects that reflect the general theme running through all of Kendalls political thought--the ways that majority rule can bring about government that is sound and just.
