Joseph Heath

Recenzje

The Machinery of Government is a valuable book. Heath's methodological approach-involving a careful examination of current practice along with a reconstruction of its implicit moral underpinning-presents a refreshing alternative to the conceptual approach taken by many applied ethicists. He avoids handing down tablets containing uninformed and impractical prescriptions; he succeeds in blending moral analysis with a deep understanding of the day-to-day requirements of governance.
