This book explores the morality of compromising. The author
argues that peace and public justification are values that
provide moral reasons to make compromises in politics, including
compromises that establish unjust laws or institutions. He
explains how it is possible to have moral reasons to agree to
moral compromises and he debates our moral duties and obligations
in making such compromises. The book also contains discussions of
the sources of the value of public justification, the relation
between peace and justice, the nature of modus vivendi
arrangements and the connections between compromise, liberal
institutions and legitimacy. In exploring the morality of
compromising, the book thus provides some outlines for a map of
political morality beyond justice.
