Innocence and Experience

In this book, Stuart Hampshire argues that no individual and no modern society can avoid conflicts between incompatible moral interests. The book closely examines the critical relationship between morality and justice, paying particular attention to Hume's moral subjectivism (which Hampshire disputes) and proposing a reply to Machiavelli's claim that the realities of politics inevitably oblige leaders to choose between unavoidable evils. In this book, Stuart Hampshire vividly illuminates the tensions between justice and other sources of value in society and in the life of the individual.Hampshire, Stuart is the author of 'Innocence and Experience' with ISBN 9780674454484 and ISBN 0674454480.
