A Dialectic Of Morals: Towards The Foundations Of Political Philosophy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432567576)

""A Dialectic of Morals: Towards the Foundations of Political Philosophy"" is a philosophical book written by Mortimer J. Adler. The book explores the relationship between morality and politics, and how they are interconnected. Adler argues that political philosophy cannot be fully understood without a proper understanding of moral philosophy. The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the nature of morality and its relationship to human nature. Adler argues that morality is objective, and that it can be discovered through reason. He also explores the different theories of ethics, such as consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics, and their implications for political philosophy.The second part of the book focuses on the nature of politics and its relationship to morality. Adler argues that politics is not just about power and self-interest, but also about the common good. He explores the different forms of government, such as democracy, monarchy, and aristocracy, and their strengths and weaknesses.The third part of the book brings together the ideas from the first two parts, and explores the foundations of political philosophy. Adler argues that political philosophy must be based on a proper understanding of human nature and morality. He also explores the role of government in promoting the common good, and the relationship between individual rights and the common good.Overall, ""A Dialectic of Morals"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores the relationship between morality and politics. It is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy and the nature of morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
