Dirty Hands Revisited
The Journal of Ethics 27 (4):441-460 (2023)
Abstract
This paper revisits many of the key ideas I explored in my earlier 1973 article “Political Action: The Problem of Dirty Hands”. I respond to some of the criticisms made over the last 50 years and emphasis certain key ideas that I believe are central to understanding this particular difficult problem for politicians.Author's Profile
