Two Cheers For Democracy by E. M. Forster

A collection of essays and speeches that argues for a human-centered liberalism: defending political freedom, individual decency, and the life of the mind while criticizing mass conformity, mindless efficiency, and totalizing ideologies; it celebrates tolerance, cultural continuity, and the arts as safeguards against authoritarianism and empty progressivism, urging a modest but principled faith in democratic institutions and the moral importance of personal relationships.
