What it is
Zen and the Art of Citizenship: An Inquiry into Principles(ZAC) is the source book that supplies the principle ordering used across every Liberty’s Principles Media product. It is at once a memoir — the founder’s journey from seventeen-year-old enlistee through the Gulf War, law school, practice, and the long rebuild — and a plainspoken civic manual that walks the reader through the preamble plus twenty-five principles in the arc-of-life ordering Bradley developed.
The arc moves from the individual outward: individual, then family, then society, then governance. The structural choice carries the argument. Most popular treatments of the founding principles present them as a list to be memorized; ZAC presents them as a ladder a citizen actually climbs.
