John Kekes : Moderate Conservativism defends moderation, limits, and practical wisdom as antidote to today ’s sorry tableau of polarization and extremism.

Central to his thought is rejection of any “monist” conception of the good that privileges a single principle, he says.

He says the error of extremists is to overestimate what politics is capable of achieving.

Moderate Conservatism expresses conservatism that refuses to forsake the untried mind and overambitious mind.

David Frum : Kekes urges us not to ask of politics the concord or once-and-for-all resolution it can never produce.

Frum says moderate conservative politics and constitutionalism can benefit from renewed engagement with the ancient virtues of sophrosyne and phronesis.
