  • サマリー

  • Spencer Klavan is the author of How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises and assistant editor of The Claremont Review of Books and The American Mind at the Claremont Institute.

    Highlights

    * Rational discourse is a team sport, a shared pursuit for the wisdom we both seek about the thing and the effort we make at getting it

    * Seeking excellence, moral virtue, and flourishing is the first step, the atomic building block, for living well together—seeking mutual good in the form of community and relationships

    * Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 9.8

    * Fundamentally, when we form political community, we do so because we collectively agree that there is such a thing as justice
