Political Normativity and Ethics
The relationship between politics and morality has puzzled thinkers from Socrates to Machiavelli, Hobbes, or Hannah Arendt, and has been a matter of practical concern for public servants and people in general down the centuries. In recent years, the philosophical debate on this topic has known a revival in the analytical tradition following the publication in 2005 of Bernard Williams’ posthumous book In the Beginning was the Deed: Realism and Moralism in Political Argument. The relationship between ethics and politics has been since a central topic of discussion between political realists, political moralists, and defenders of other stances, although this is not the only theoretical context in which the issue provokes lively debates. Besides, the topic can be addressed at various levels of abstraction, from the metaphilosophical to the most applied. In this special issue, we intend to gather philosophers, political theorists, and scholars from related fields and diverse traditions around a reflection on the relationship between ethics and politics.
