Moral Man And Immoral Society: A Study Of Ethics And Politics (Library Of Theological Ethics): a study in ethics and politics

The Story

With an introduction by Langdon Gilkey, 'Moral man and immoral society' was Reinhold Niebuhr's important study in ethics and politics. Forthright and realistic, it discussed the inevitability of social conflict, the brutal behavior of human collectives of every sort, the inability of rationalists and social scientists to even imagine the realities of collective power, and, ultimately, how individual morality can overcome social immorality.
