R.M.Hare is one of the most widely discussed modern moral philosophers. These essays, all written during the late 1970s and the 1980s, represent Hare's thinking on a range of issues in political morality. These include political obligation, terrorism, morality and war, rights, quality and the environment. The book should be of interest to philosophers of morals, politics or law and to political theorists.
