Political Vices (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores our uniquely political vices: hubris, willful blindness, and recalcitrance. According to Mark Button this overlooked class of vice encompasses those persistent dispositions of character and conduct that threaten the functioning of democratic institutions and the trust that citizens place in these institutions to secure a just political order. Political Vices provides an account for how citizens can best contend with our most troubling political sins without undermining core commitments to liberalism or pluralism.
