The uses of tragedy: Reinhold Niebuhr's theory of history and international ethics
Ethics and International Affairs 9:171–191 (1995)
Abstract
As Smith points out, Reinhold Niebuhr's political ethic is closely linked to his philosophy of history. This view of history blends a dualistic understanding of human nature and rigorous contingency of experience - all sobered by a creative sense of tragedyMy notes
