In Praise of Intransigence —— The Perils of Flexibility

----- 颂扬不妥协精神-灵活性的危害

ISBN: 9780199334988 出版年：2014 页码：199 Weisberg, Richard H Oxford University Press

Weisberg identifies the risks throughout a 2000 year span of western history, of overly flexible responses to crises and perceived emergencies. So ensconced is the norm of infinite openness to ideas and changing circumstances that, he argues, his readers need to work hard to be able to resist the tendency of others to fold their tents and betray their own deepest and soundest values when challenged to do so by "new" conditions.
