The Specter of Hypocrisy

Testing the Limits of Moral Discourse

Meer over het boek

The exploration of hypocrisy reveals its dual role as a protective mechanism and a means of fostering social bonds. By tracing its origins from Greek theater masks to Hebrew chameleons, Sassower critiques traditional views on hypocrisy, challenging the notion of a uniform mind and the connection between intention and behavior. He highlights the complexities of personal conduct and the situational nature of hypocrisy, suggesting that accusations among friends can enhance trust and community, while also addressing the limitations of conventional moral and political frameworks.
