Machiavelli almost succeeded in removing morality from European
politics and, indeed, since his day it has sometimes been assumed that
morality and politics are separate. Ryder argues that the time has
come for public policies to be seen to be based upon moral objectives.
Politicians should be expected routinely to justify their policies
with open moral argument. In Part I, Ryder sketches an overview of
contemporary political philosophy as it relates to the moral basis for
politics, and Part 2 suggests a way of putting morality back into
politics, along with a clearer emphasis upon scientific evidence.
