Should politicians get their hands dirty?
Should politicians get their hands dirty? If they should get their hands dirty, should democratic citizens blame them and punish them for their dirty hands? If politicians should not get their hands
The topic didn’t fit in the topic area, but the topic is as follows:
Should politicians get their hands dirty? If they should get their hands dirty, should democratic citizens blame them and punish them for their dirty hands? If politicians should not get their hands dirty, can they be effective political actors, or is the lesson to avoid politics?
Note that a clear thesis must be defended, and must provide at least one argument in defense of the thesis; and must deal with at least one important objection.)
Must be based on the readings of one or all of the following: The prince by Machiavelli, The “Dirty Hands” play in No exit by Sarte, Kagan’s normative ethics chapters 2 “The good” and 3 ” Doing harm”, and Albert Camus “The Just Assassins” in Caligula and Three Other Plays, all of which I’ve attached.
For Camus i was unable to find a PDF but I was able to find this link: http://www.segnbora.com/justes/
Moreover, Kagan and Machiavelli books were too large to upload.
