Excerpt from The Ethics of Political Science: A Lecture
When Mr. Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg of the United States government as of the people, by the people, for the people, his words met with general assent. The nation felt that it had its own government rightly defined. But such short phrases, however tunefully they strike the ear on great occasions, need to be devel Oped, or their wit alone is noticed and their wisdom overlooked.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of political service in the United States, exploring the challenges and dilemmas inherent in being a morally grounded politician. The author contends that political service should be held to the same ethical standards as other professions and argues that the current climate of low public opinion regarding politics stems from ongoing moral failings by individuals within the field. Drawing upon historical examples, the book analyzes the impact of the spirit of party and its tendency to corrupt individual conscience, while emphasizing the need for honorable and wise politicians to prioritize their duty to nation over party loyalty. The author concludes by suggesting that restoring the moral integrity of politics requires public officials to be held accountable for their actions and for the electorate to demand a higher standard of conduct from those they elect.
