The new French President Emmanuel Macron speaks of achieving a 'happy medium', implying that the various interests represented within the political world are being given equal value and weight. He wants to strike a balance between [liberty – which he takes to be a prime value of the political right – and equality – which he sees as the left’s prime value. But can centrism ever be a reality in politics? The author relates this to views expressed by Victor Cousin, a 19th-century French philosopher and statesman. |
