Overview

In The Statesman as Thinker, Daniel J. Mahoney provides thoughtful and elegant portraits of statesmen who struggled to  preserve  freedom  during  times of crisis: Cicero using  all the powers of rhetoric to preserve republican liberty in Rome against Caesar’s encroaching autocracy; Burke defending ordered liberty  against  Jacobin  tyranny in revolutionary France; Tocqueville  defending liberty and human dignity against blind reaction, democratic impatience, and revolutionary fanaticism; Lincoln  preserving the American republic and putting  an end to chattel slavery; Churchill defending liberty and law and opposing Nazi and Communist despotism; de Gaulle defending the honor of France  during World War II; and Havel fighting Communism before 1989 and then leading the Czech Republic with dignity and grace.  Mahoney makes sense of the mixture of magnanimity and moderation that defines the statesman as thinker at his or her best. That admirable mixture of greatness, courage, and moderation owes much to classical and Christian wisdom and to the noble desire to protect the inheritance of civilization against rapacious and destructive despotic regimes and ideologies.
