    Putting Morality Back into Politics

    By Richard D. Ryder

    About this ebook

    Machiavelli almost succeeded in removing morality from European politics and, indeed, since his day it has sometimes been assumed that morality and politics are separate. Ryder argues that the time has come for public policies to be seen to be based upon moral objectives. Politicians should be expected routinely to justify their policies with open moral argument.

    In Part I, Ryder sketches an overview of contemporary political philosophy as it relates to the moral basis for politics, and Part 2 suggests a way of putting morality back into politics, along with a clearer emphasis upon scientific evidence.

      Stop Glorifying ‘Centrism’. It Is An Insidious Bias Favoring An Unjust Status Quo | Rebecca Solnit

      May 28, 2021

      The idea that all bias is some deviation from an unbiased center is itself a bias that prevents pundits, journalists, politicians, and plenty of others from recognizing some of the most ugly and impactful prejudices and assumptions of our times. I th

      Introduction: Populism, Self-Government, and Liberty

      Aug 4, 2021

      Populist and neoliberal are epithets: anyone who uses one of these terms as a description doesn’t belong to the group being described. The more extreme stand-ins— socialist for the Left and fascist for the Right—are hyperbolic and hackneyed, so popul

      For many Americans, these claims sound self-evidently true: Information is good; knowledge is power; awareness of social ills is the mark of the responsible citizen. But what if they aren’t correct? Recent studies on the link between political awaren

      “WE ALL BELIEVE in democracy, my dear, but some of us are too well mannered to practise it.” I can't remember where and when I first heard this quote – I may even have dreamt it or made it up – but it's probably from an Oscar Wilde play. It must have

      Conservative Divide Pits Anti-left Against Anti-state

      Jan 24, 2020

      For most Americans, conservatism basically means the stuff Republicans are for, and liberalism means whatever Democrats are for. I don't mean this as a criticism, just a statement of fact. One of the great things about America is that politics -- nev
