Opis

This book provides a novel account of integrity and its relevance to both individual and collective conduct, and analyses a wide range of practical policy problems.

Recenzje

Integrity has received a mixed press from political and moral philosophers. Many regard it as at best unnecessary and at worst pernicious. Against this view, Shmulik Nili proposes an innovative account of integrity as a valuable and necessary quality of personal character and especially of political institutions, supporting rather than hindering morally and politically appropriate action by citizens and politicians. The resulting defence of integrity is both highly original and, as his discussions of Berlusconi, Trump, and Netanyahu reveal, extremely timely.
