Well researched study into Moderation

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2023

Faces of Moderation
Having read most of Dr. Craiutu’s book, I’m impressed by his deep study into the historical meaning of “moderation” throughout the world. He points out how different societies have challenged moderation in all different economies, as well as politics, and cultural genres.
If you are like me, someone who desperately wishes for more of a moderate sense of being in our political system, you will enjoy this book. Dr. Craiutu’s research for his book is deep, and thorough in all facets of moderation and how it has played out all over the world.
He points out clearly the need for moderation in our lives because of the extremism that pervades all over the world. He claims “moderation respects the spontaneity of life and the pluralism of the world and can protect us against pride, intolerance and fanaticism…”
I highly recommend this book, especially for those who hold some sort of power in our world. Most leaders today seem to ignore the need for moderation in governing which could be destructive if not considered.

Challenging read, but a valuable theme of the challenges and merits in adopting a moderate stance in a world gone tribal.

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2017

Having finally read the book, I will "sort of" concur with Ken Moskowitz. I'm a science and computer guy, and felt a bit out of my league when reading this book. When books start throwing around words like "manichaean" and "machiavellian," I start to get a little intimidated :). I say this simply to allow any reader of this comment to know where I'm starting from. I'm fairly well-read, but I don't have a lot of depth in this subject area.

In short, I found the book "challenging" to read, because of its deep academic nature, but I was determined to see it through.

The author starts with a motivating prologue on the merits and challenges of - in my own words - adopting a moderate perspective in a world where most of the people are taking sides, and distrust and denigrate those who (in their view) play it safe by taking a moderate, non-commital stance. Since I often find myself in that position, I felt it resonated with me, and helped me better understand how taking these challenging positions may just be the little bit of sanity that's left in a world gone haywire.

The author then devotes six chapters to six individuals who faced these challenges, then sums it all up in an epilogue.

All in all, although I felt like I was probably missing lots of important detail, there was a fascinating theme that carried through the book. I think if I were to read it a second time I'd get a lot more out of it.

Moderation has a place in today’s Politics

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

A good book and a worthwhile read if for no other reason than to illustrate that not all political commentators are extremist nut jobs. The book has an important message regarding moderation, measured responses and actually listening to people who don’t think exactly like you.
However, it can be dense at times and hard to navigate.

Absolutely brilliant

It gives valuable tools and insights to fight fiercely for the centre against zealots and fanatics. Raymond Aron and Isaiah Berlin are two emblematic intellectuals that should receive more attention and admiration.
