About the book
In A Preface to Morals, Pulitzer Prize-winning thinker Walter Lippmann confronts the moral crisis of the modern age-a world left without the unifying authority of religion. With clarity and depth, he examines the consequences of this loss and offers a bold alternative: a morality founded not on divine command, but on reason, introspection, and shared human values. Lippmann urges readers to cultivate tolerance, understanding, and respect as the foundations of an ethical life. His vision of a humanistic code-one grounded in intellectual honesty and the pursuit of truth-speaks urgently to the challenges of modern society. First published in 1929, this landmark work remains a searching inquiry into how civilization might recover its moral compass in a secular world. This Warbler Classics edition includes Lippmann's original complete notes and extensive index, as well as a detailed biographical timeline.
