Richard Ned Lebow seeks to show that ethics are actually essential to the national interest. Recapturing the wisdom of classical realism through a close reading of the texts of Thucydides, Clausewitz and Hans Morgenthau, Lebow argues that, unlike many modern realists, classic realists saw close links between domestic and international politics, and between interests and ethics. Lebow uses this analysis to offer a powerful critique of post-Cold War American foreign policy. He also develops an ontological foundation for ethics and makes the case for an alternate ontology for social science based on Greek tragedy's understanding of life and politics. This is a topical and accessible book, written by a leading scholar in the field.National securityMoral and ethical aspectsInternational relationsMoral and ethical aspectsRealismPolitical aspectsUnited StatesForeign relations1989-National securityMoral and ethical aspects.International relationsMoral and ethical aspects.RealismPolitical aspects.172/.4Lebow Richard Ned308100UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457918203321The tragic vision of politics1899648UNINA
