On Compromise

Bag om On Compromise

On Compromise is a philosophical work by John Morley that explores the concept of compromise in politics and society. Morley argues that compromise is essential for the functioning of democratic societies, as it allows for the resolution of conflicts and the maintenance of social stability. He examines the different types of compromise, from those that are purely tactical to those that reflect deeper moral principles, and considers the role of compromise in historical events such as the American Civil War and the French Revolution. Morley also critiques those who reject compromise as a sign of weakness or moral compromise, arguing that such absolutist positions are ultimately counterproductive. With its insightful analysis and thought-provoking arguments, On Compromise is a valuable contribution to political philosophy and a must-read for anyone interested in the workings of democratic societies.The main field of discussion touching Compromise in expression and avowal lies in the region of religious belief. In politics no one seriously contends that respect for the feelings and prejudices of other people requires us to be silent about our opinions. A republican, for instance, is at perfect liberty to declare himself so. Nobody will say that he is not within his rights if he should think it worth while to practise this liberty, though of course he will have to face the obloquy which attends all opinion that is not shared by the more demonstrative and vocal portions of the public.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
