In Defense of Partisanship
In Emily Crookston, David Killoren & Jonathan Trerise, Ethics in Politics: The Rights and Obligations of Individual Political Agents. New York: Routledge. pp. 75-90 (2016)
Abstract
This essay explains why partisanship is justified in contemporary America and environments with similar voting systems and coalition structures. It explains how political parties operate, how helping a party succeed can be a goal of genuine ethical significance, and how trusting one party while mistrusting another can be a reliable route to true belief about important political issues.Author's Profile
