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. 606 $aDemocracy$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aPolitical ethics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocracy$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aPolitical ethics. 676 $a172 701 $aCiprut$b Jose V$01026731 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454277403321 996 $aEthics, politics, and democracy$92460730 997 $aUNINA
