Description
Avishai Margalit examines the moral limits of political compromise, exploring when it is acceptable and when it becomes fundamentally rotten. He argues that even for the sake of peace, there are moral boundaries to acceptable compromise.
Margalit's book focuses on the nature of political compromise in its various forms, drawing on examples from history such as the Munich Agreement and Arab-Israeli peace negotiations. By combining philosophy, politics, and history, he provides a nuanced understanding of what makes for just war and just peace.
