Summary
Offers an alternative to the enlightened liberalism espoused by thinkers as different as Kant, Mill, Rand and Rawls. Fleming advocated a return to premodern traditions, such as those in the texts of Aristotle, the Talmud, and the folk wisdom in ancient Greek literature, for a solution to ethical predicaments.
