An Unoriginal Position

A short, clear book of reflections on moral and political philosophy that deliberately takes the side of inherited wisdom. The author argues that the most reliable guides to justice and the good life are not new theories but the long tradition of classical and Christian thought.

Accessible to the general reader and useful for students, it is an invitation to think with the tradition rather than against it.
