Synopsis
This book addresses the importance of politics and the role it plays in moral society. Despite public opinion that politics are best avoided as they are full of deceit and pettiness, the author argues that morality and politics are inextricably linked and that one cannot truly exist without the other. The author points back to Christianity and the social welfare work undertaken by the church in the dark ages to support this point. The author goes on to say that by avoiding politics, we are leaving the political sphere open for those who are only interested in self-serving interests. The author encourages readers to take an interest in politics and public service, viewing these activities as an extension of personal morality. In doing so, they can help to shape a better society for all, rather than leaving it in the hands of those who are only interested in their own gain. The book's insights are significant because they challenge the common Auffassung that morality and politics are separate spheres. The author argues that morality is not just about personal conduct, but also about the way we organize our society. By engaging in politics, we can help to create a more just and equitable world.
