Description

Arguably his such a lot famous book, Moral Man and Immoral Society is Reinhold Niebuhr’s vital early examine (1932) in ethics and politics. Widely read and continually relevant, this book marked Niebuhr’s decisive break from progressive religion and politics toward a more deeply tragic view of human nature and history. Forthright and realistic, Moral Man and Immoral Society argues that specific morality is intrinsically incompatible with collective life, thus making social and political conflict inevitable. Niebuhr further discusses our inability to consider the realities of collective power; the brutal behavior of human collectives of each and every sort; and, in the long run, how individual morality can mitigate the persistence of social immorality.

This new edition features a foreword by Cornel West that explores the continuing interest in Niebuhr’s thought and its recent relevance.
