We prize loyalty in our friends, lovers and colleagues, but loyalty raises difficult questions. What is the point of loyalty? Should we be loyal to country, just as we are loyal to friends and family? Can the requirements of loyalty conflict with the requirements of morality? In this book, originally published in 2007, Simon Keller explores the varieties of loyalty and their psychological and ethical differences, and concludes that loyalty is an essential but fallible part of human life. He argues that grown children can be obliged to be loyal to their parents, that good friendship can sometimes conflict with moral and epistemic standards, and that patriotism is intimately linked with certain dangers and delusions. He goes on to build an approach to the ethics of loyalty that differs from standard communitarian and universalist accounts. His book will interest a wide range of readers in ethics and political philosophy.

We are partial to people with whom we share special relationships--if someone is your child, parent, or friend, you wouldn''t treat them as you would a stranger. But is partiality justified, and if so, why? Partiality presents a theory of the reasons supporting special treatment within special relationships and explores the vexing problem of how we might reconcile the moral value of these relationships with competing claims of impartial morality. Simon Keller explains that in order to understand why we give special treatment to our family and friends, we need to understand how people come to matter in their own rights. Keller first presents two main accounts of partiality: the projects view, on which reasons of partiality arise from the place that people take within our lives and our commitments, and the relationships view, on which relationships themselves contain fundamental value or reason-giving force. Keller then argues that neither view is satisfactory because neither captures the experience of acting well within special relationships. Instead, Keller defends the individuals view, on which reasons of partiality arise from the value of the individuals with whom our relationships are shared. He defends this view by saying that we must accept that two people, whether friend or stranger, can have the same value, even as their value makes different demands upon people with whom they share different relationships. Keller explores the implications of this claim within a wider understanding of morality and our relationships with groups, institutions, and countries.

Dies ist die Fortsetzung meiner Geschichte. Sie handelt davon, welch zerstörerische Kraft einer Depression innewohnt. Einer Krankheit, die leider in unserer Gesellschaft argwöhnisch und mit Unsicherheit betrachtet - und oft genug als "Burnout" abgetan wird. Was aber passierte mit jemandem, der - wie ich - fest im Sattel der Selbständigkeit saß, eine Familie gegründet, ein Haus gebaut und einen Baum gepflanzt hatte?Die Ironie dabei war, dass ich meinen Kunden über 12 Jahre lang genau die Versicherung empfohlen hatte, welche sich jetzt - im Leistungsfall - so vehement weigerte...

Valoramos la lealtad de nuestra pareja, y la de nuestros amigos y colegas, pero a veces esa actitud plantea cuestiones difíciles. ¿Dónde se encuentra el límite? ¿Debemos ser leales a la patria, como lo somos a nuestros amigos y familiares? ¿Hay exigencias de la lealtad que pueden colisionar con las de la moral?Simon Keller explora los tipos de lealtad y sus diferencias psicológicas y éticas, y concluye que, aunque es una parte esencial de la vida humana, es también susceptible de errores. Los hijos adultos pueden verse obligados a ser leales a sus padres, la buena amistad puede entrar en conflicto con las normas morales, e incluso el patriotismo parece vinculado a ciertos peligros y delirios. Su enfoque resultará sugerente al lector general y a los interesados en la ética y la filosofía política.Este libro obtuvo el premio de la American Philosophical Association en 2009.
