Abstract

In his famous 1973 paper, Michael Walzer introduced “The Problem of Dirty Hands” to political philosophy. A decision-maker, according to Walzer, is “trapped” in a dirty hands-situation if his decision and ensuing actions “may be exactly the right thing to do […] and yet leave the man guilty of a moral wrong. The innocent man, afterwards, is no longer innocent”.
