Book excerpt: This collection of essays assembles the wit and wisdom of Robert Goldwin, who has worked in the White House as a clarifier of ideas for the President. The essays are organized in five parts, covering the U.S. Constitution, human rights, political philosophy, international diplomacy, and liberal education. Goldwin establishes that the framers of the Constitution were devoted to the traditions of individual liberty and democracy, and he examines Locke's views on property and the state of nature. Other topics include: rights versus duties; human rights as the moral foundation of American foreign policy; the Law of the Sea; liberal arts students and their alienation from families, community, and tradition; and the future of liberal education.
