  • "In Ethics and Activism, Professor Michael Gross challenges a central tenet of liberal political theory - that the integrity of the modern democratic state rests on a carefully crafted moral foundation of autonomy, ethical first principles, and political action. In a work firmly grounded in philosophical enquiry and empirical investigation, Professor Gross integrates insights from normative political philosophy, rational choice theory, and cognitive developmental psychology to explore three exemplary cases of morally inspired political activism - Jewish rescue in wartime Europe, abortion politics in the United States, and peace and settler activism in Israel. From all three analyses, a surprisingly paradoxical finding emerges: The most politically competent individuals are, most often, the least morally competent."
