Beskrivning

At a time when politics and virtue seem less compatible than oil and water, Democracy and Moral Development shows how to bring the two together. Philosopher David Norton applies classical concepts of virtue to the premises of modern democracy. The centerpiece of the book is a model of organizational management applicable to the state, business, the professions, and voluntary communities.

"Norton has correctly characterized the way that many people today think about morality. . . . [He] makes a good case against moral minimalism and for a more developmental conception of the individual."
