Every liberal / progressive (or forward thinking human being for that matter) should not only read this book but keep a copy in their back pocket. I just finished reading Dr. Kelleher's "Progressive Logic" and frankly it's impressive. I was left with a sense of hope and clarity as I begin to fully understand the source of my own values and ideals."Progressive Logic" points out with amazing clarity the underlying value premise that unites all liberal progressives. Until now this basic premise has only been recognized by liberals in purely an intuitive way. Kelleher shows us why we need to understand it on a conscious level and Begin to re frame the issues with our new understanding as the guide.
Product Description:
This book actually presents a unified field theory of values for progressives. It articulates the logic of values followed by American progressives for over 200 years. Using examples from American history, the narrative clearly illustrates how this logic has operated in the past. Progressive logic can be used by activists, speechwriters, and campaigners to clarify the basic reasons for all progressive policies, measures, and political reforms. Progressive logic is the unifying element among the current variety of progressive groups. This is an easy read; yet, Progressive Logic has the potential to affect American politics on a scale like that of Thomas Paine's Common Sense.
