A preeminent historian of political ideas, whose works emphasize the virtue of political moderation from the early Modern period to the present, Prof. Craiutu will draw on past philosophers and exemplars of political moderation in his talk in order to offer insights for encountering contemporary forms of extremism in American political life.
