Moral Man and Immoral Society - Reinhold Niebuhr - Bog

""Moral Man and Immoral Society: A Study in Ethics and Politics"" is a classic work of political and ethical philosophy by Reinhold Niebuhr. The book explores the tension between individual morality and the realities of society, arguing that while individuals may strive to be moral, society as a whole is inherently flawed and often acts in immoral ways. Niebuhr contends that this is due to the inherent power dynamics of society, which create a situation in which the powerful are able to exploit the weak. The book also delves into the role of religion in society, arguing that it can be a force for good when it promotes justice and compassion, but can also be used to justify oppression and violence. Overall, ""Moral Man and Immoral Society"" is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the complexities of human nature and the challenges of creating a just and moral society.This is a new release of the original 1934 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
