First sentence: The increasingly more frequent debates on the moral question occurring in Italy in recent years repropose the old problem of the relation between morals and politics.
Description: "In this important volume, the leading political theorist and philosopher Norberto Bobbio confronts some of the most enduring moral questions of our time. Written over the last two decades of the twentieth century, the essays in this volume develop some of the central themes in Bobbio's moral and political philosophy. They also reflect his long-standing civil commitment to liberty, democracy, peace and equality."--Jacket.
