On Moderation

Readers will be dazzled as Clor takes an old and neglected virtue and gives it a fully modern analysis.

~James Ceaser, Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia

Is moderation inspiring? After reading this lucid, profound book, your answer will be yes. Harry Clor flings a tightrope across the abyss of modern thought, then shows how excess, that clumsy beast, is bound to fall, while moderation, sure-footed as the author himself, crosses lightly and gracefully to wisdom.

~Martha Bayles, Lecturer, Arts and Sciences Honors Program, Boston College

Balanced, widely informed, gracefully written, and exhibiting a generous spirit... Recommended. General readers through research faculty.

~CHOICE

Clor's readable pages are an antidote to both moralistic absolutism and amoral relativism and are written in a style that is ruminative and well illustrated and does not talk down to the nonspecialist. This book is valuable because it doesn't simply celebrate moderation, but locates moderation among the other virtues.
