Description
Politics as a Moral Problem by János Kis In a world often marked by disillusionment and moral decay, Kis seeks to reframe our understanding of politics. He challenges prevailing theories about the morality of political action, proposing a nuanced approach that balances realism with moral motivation. Kis's analysis draws on a broad range of classic and contemporary literature, as well as recent international politics cases, to shed light on the complex relationships between power, morality, and deliberation. A key appendix features Václav Havel's seminal essay "The Power of the Powerless," offering insight into the diverse approaches taken by dissident intellectuals. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the moral dimensions of politics, inviting readers to consider the ways in which political action can be evaluated and held accountable.
