More about the book

Exploring the complexities of moral argument, Michael Walzer contrasts maximalist and minimalist approaches to justice and national identity in a changing political landscape. This revised edition builds on concepts from Spheres of Justice, offering insights into local versus universal moral reasoning. The author includes a new preface and afterword, linking the discussions to his previous work on the ethics of warfare in Just and Unjust Wars, enriching the reader's understanding of contemporary moral dilemmas.
