Beyond the Rhetoric

William Gairdner, PhD, is a former Olympic athlete, businessman, and author living near Toronto. He began publishing serious essays and books on political and moral philosophy in mid-life, and among his many bestsellers -- books that have profoundly enriched national dialogue and discussion -- are The Trouble With Canada, The War Against the Family, Canada's Founding Debates, The Book of Absolutes, and The Great Divide: Why Liberals and Conservatives Will Never, Ever Agree. Then at 80, just when he was thinking about retirement, he was asked to write columns for The Epoch Times newspaper. Stirred by the newspaper's motto, "Truth and Tradition," he jumped in and produced more than two dozen sparkling, insightful pieces that are collected and reproduced in Beyond the Rhetoric. Readers will be treated to penetrating and insightful commentary on a wide range of topics germane to the larger question of how we ought to live, as individuals, and as a nation.
