“The contemporary French political philosopher Pierre Manent is widely acknowledged as a thinker of the first rank, one whose approach to the study of human affairs renews political philosophy’s original ambition to provide a truly ‘architectonic’ or comprehensive grasp of the human world. Manent’s concerns are the age-old ones of the city and the soul. He approaches them through the study of the great texts of political philosophy and political history and through a patient ‘phenomenological’ description of human motives (the useful, the pleasant, and the noble), as well as the virtues and vices of men.” (04/21/25)
