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. 606 $aNational security$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aInternational relations$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aRealism$xPolitical aspects 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1989- 615 0$aNational security$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aInternational relations$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aRealism$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a172/.4 700 $aLebow$b Richard Ned$0308100 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974061003321 996 $aThe tragic vision of politics$94426846 997 $aUNINA
