      abstract = {This book explores how the processes and practices of  politics shape political values, such as liberty, justice,  equality, and democracy. Mining the history of political  episodes and political thinkers, including Caesar and  Machiavelli, Mark Philp argues that it is through political  activity that "values are articulated and embraced, and  they become powerful motivating forces." Political Conduct  is thus an attempt to inform and enrich political  theory--to show that its principles would be more relevant  to actual politics if they were immersed in history and  practice. Philp argues for a separation between moral and  political philosophy and proposes that a less abstract and  ideal approach to political philosophy than that provided  by Rawls, Dworkin, Nagel, and Cohen would be more useful in  illuminating the conduct of politicians and the limitations  on what they can achieve.},
