Description
The Limits of Loyalty by Simon Keller explores the complexities of loyalty and its relationship with morality. In this thought-provoking work, Keller examines the various forms of loyalty, including familial, friendship-based, and nationalistic, to reveal their psychological and ethical nuances. Keller's analysis reveals that loyalty can sometimes conflict with moral and epistemic standards, and that certain forms of patriotism are linked to dangers and delusions. He argues for a nuanced approach to the ethics of loyalty, one that differs from standard communitarian and universalist accounts. This book will be of interest to readers in ethics and political philosophy who seek to understand the intricacies of human relationships and the nature of moral obligation.
