Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Morality of Nations: An Essay on the Theory of Politics
But what are the principles of right? They cannot be pious opinions that a nation should keep treaties or should be honest. Such principles are too vague. They are like the old Kantian command to do one's duty. The real problem begins in the attempt to discover what is one's duty. So now the chief problem is to find out what the moral relationship between States really is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
