About This Book

A circle of club members gather for a summer meeting where, after an impromptu prompt, each speaker presents a candid account of why they adhere to a political creed. Through successive addresses—from conservative and liberal perspectives to socialist, anarchist, scientific, and literary voices—they set out personal prejudices, principles, and practical arguments about inequality, democracy, violence, duty, and reform. The staged symposium stages competing rationales for public life and exposes tensions between tradition and progress, contrasting beliefs about social order and the means by which political change should be pursued.
