Abstract

ISBN 9042005114 (paperback) NLG 45.00 This book explores the connection of moderate skepticism and constitutionalism through a re-examination of the thought of five major writers: Cicero, Hume, Burke, Madison, and Felix Frankfurter. Discussed are the limitations of human reason, the shortcomings of language, the advocacy of judicial restraint, and the experimental approach to the solution of social problems.
