Free and the Virtuous

Discover the profound insights of Free and the Virtuous by Heather Dutton Dudley, published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2022. In this thought-provoking exploration, Dudley delves into the critical role that good character played for the American founding fathers, arguing that it was not just vital for the survival of liberty, but the very foundation upon which it stood. With 162 pages of compelling analysis, the author examines the troubling shift in contemporary society where the value of character seems to have diminished. Why has this abandonment of the founders' principles occurred? Join Dudley on a journey to uncover the answers and reflect on the importance of virtue in our lives today. Perfect for readers interested in American history, ethics, and the philosophy of liberty, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the moral fabric of our nation.
