| Summary | Annotation <div>Questioning the usual judgements of political ethics, Ruth W. Grant argues that hypocrisy can actually be constructive while strictly principled behavior can be destructive.<i>Hypocrisy and Integrity</i>offers a new conceptual framework that clarifies the differences between idealism and fanaticism while it uncovers the moral limits of compromise.<br /><br />"Exciting and provocative. . . . Grant's work is to be highly recommended, offering a fresh reading of Rousseau and Machiavelli as well as presenting a penetrating analysis of hypocrisy and integrity."—Ronald J. Terchek,<i>American Political Science Review</i><br /><br />"A great refreshment. . . . With liberalism's best interests at heart, Grant seeks to make available a better understanding of the limits of reason in politics."—Peter Berkowitz,<i>New Republic</i><br /></div> |
