Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In Breach of Trust: Truth, Morality and Politics, Raimond Gaita confronts essential questions about politics as it is practised today. What do politicians mean when they talk about 'trust' Why is truthfulness important Are we as politically and morally divided as the Americans Does the war on terror authorise leaders to do things that once were considered beyond the pale Gaita argues for a conception of politics in which morality is not an optional extra. He discusses why successful politicians must at times be economical with the truth, but shows a way beyond cynicism on the one hand and moralising on the other. Politics, he says, is conceivably a noble vocation, as well as potentially a tragic one. He looks closely at patriotism and its distortions, and the temptation to betray our deepest values in the act of protecting ourselves. Combining gentle evocation with gloves-off argument, Breach of Trust is a clarion call from one of Australia's leading thinkers. Seller Inventory # 9781863952293
