In this episode, Richard Whatmore speaks with Aurelian Craiutu about his

new book Why Not Moderation? Letters to Young Radicals (CUP, 2023).

The book challenges the conventional image of moderation as a “simple

virtue for lukewarm and indecisive minds, searching for a fuzzy center

between the extremes.” Instead, he shows moderation to be a complex virtue

with a rich tradition and unexplored radical aspects. With its epistolary

form, the book presents an imaginary dialogue between two young radicals

and a passionate moderate, thereby outlining the distinctive political

vision undergirding moderation in modern America.
