On Compromise : Kessinger Publishing : 9781161445886 : 1161445889 : 23 May 2010 : On Compromise is a philosophical work by John Morley that explores the concept of compromise in politics and society. Morley argues that compromise is essential for the functioning of democratic societies, as it allows for the resolution of conflicts and the maintenance of social stability. He examines the different types of compromise, from those that are purely tactical to those that reflect deeper moral principles, and considers the role of compromise in historical events such as the American Civil War and the French Revolution. Morley also critiques those who reject compromise as a sign of weakness or moral compromise, arguing that such absolutist positions are ultimately counterproductive. With its insightful analysis and thought-provoking arguments, On Compromise is a valuable contribution to political philosophy and a must-read for anyone interested in the workings of democratic societies.The main
