Politics And Morals

By Benedetto Croce

Book Overview

Politics and Morals is a philosophical work written by the Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce. In this book, Croce explores the relationship between politics and morality, arguing that the two are inextricably linked. He asserts that politics is not merely a matter of power and manipulation, but rather a moral enterprise that should be guided by ethical principles.Croce examines the various ethical theories that have been put forward throughout history, including utilitarianism, Kantianism, and natural law theory. He critiques these theories and offers his own perspective on the nature of morality, which he believes is rooted in the human spirit and the pursuit of freedom.The book also delves into the role of the state in promoting morality, with Croce arguing that the state has a responsibility to create the conditions necessary for individuals to live virtuous lives. He discusses the importance of education, culture, and social institutions in shaping moral character and fostering a sense of civic responsibility.Overall, Politics and Morals is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between politics and ethics. Croce's insights and arguments continue to be relevant today, and this book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, politics, and morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
