Ethics in a World of Power: The Political Ideas of Friedrich Meinecke

Richard W Sterling

""Ethics In A World Of Power: The Political Ideas Of Friedrich Meinecke"" is a book written by Richard W. Sterling that provides a comprehensive analysis of the political philosophy of Friedrich Meinecke, a German historian and political theorist. The book explores Meinecke's views on the relationship between ethics and power in the context of the rise of authoritarianism and fascism in Germany during the early 20th century. Sterling examines Meinecke's ideas about the role of the state, the nature of democracy, and the importance of individual freedom and responsibility. He also explores Meinecke's views on the relationship between history and politics, and the role of intellectuals in shaping political discourse. Throughout the book, Sterling highlights the relevance of Meinecke's ideas for contemporary political debates and argues that his insights into the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of ethical considerations in politics remain relevant today. Overall, ""Ethics In A World Of Power"" offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of political power and ethical considerations, and sheds light on the complex political landscape of early 20th century Germany.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
