As such, it stands at the cross-disciplinary intersection between the practice of democratic citizenship and the exercise of political ethics. Contributors address law and morality in history, from Ancient Mesopotamia and Enlightenment Europe to modern America and the new millennium's scientific and technological transformations; the links among different systems of belief; and complex ethical issues in domestic and international democratic governance in the context of today's globalized world.DemocracyMoral and ethical aspectsPolitical ethicsElectronic books.DemocracyMoral and ethical aspects.Political ethics.172Ciprut Jose V1026731MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454277403321Ethics, politics, and democracy2460730UNINA
