Bernard Williams | Politics and Moral Character
Williams looks at the politician as professional and, specifically, at what it means for a politician to act in "morally disagreeable" ways. He focuses on morally dubious acts that are political, such as trying to stay in office, as opposed to those having to do with personal enrichment. The question of whether morally disagreeable acts can ever be considered politically justified is his central concern.
