Produktbeschreibung
On Compromise is a non-fiction book written by John Morley that explores the concept of compromise in politics and society. Morley argues that compromise is essential for the functioning of democracy and that it is a necessary tool for resolving conflicts and achieving progress. The book examines the historical and philosophical roots of compromise, as well as its practical applications in various political systems. Morley also explores the potential dangers and limitations of compromise, such as the risk of betraying one's principles or perpetuating injustice. Overall, On Compromise is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of a crucial aspect of modern politics and society.The main field of discussion touching Compromise in expression and avowal lies in the region of religious belief. In politics no one seriously contends that respect for the feelings and prejudices of other people requires us to be silent about our opinions. A republican, for instance, is at perfect liberty to declare himself so. Nobody will say that he is not within his rights if he should think it worth while to practise this liberty, though of course he will have to face the obloquy which attends all opinion that is not shared by the more demonstrative and vocal portions of the public.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

He started out as a reporter in the North of England and then became editor of the newly liberal Pall Mall Gazette from 1880 to 1883.

Morley was a well-known political analyst and wrote a biography of William Gladstone, who was his hero. His works and "reputation as the last of the great nineteenth-century Liberals" made Morley famous. He was against the Second Boer War and empire. He believed that Ireland should have Home Rule. He quit the government in August 1914 because he didn't want Britain to join the First World War as a Russian friend.
