Trust, Our Second Nature
«Buford's Trust, Our Second Nature carefully and clearly sets forth a detailed and wide-ranging social personalism. In so doing, Buford makes clear the contemporary vitality of the personalist tradition, provides an original contribution to it by subordinating argument to the personal, and enlarges our understanding of individual identity, social action, and solidarity.»
John J. Stuhr, Emory University
The thesis of this book is that only a social personalism and no form of impersonalism can adequately account for the solidarity and stability of what we individuals share with all other members of our society, our second nature. Les mer

«This book is an eloquent defense of life in a society structured by trust. Writing from the great American personalist tradition, Buford lays bare the moral underpinnings of human nature. The message is empowering and enlightening.»
