| 요약 | During the past twenty years political realism has experienced a renaissance. Self- identified realists understand themselves as responding to the tendency in Anglophone political philosophy to reduce politics to "applied ethics". They argue, in contrast, that politics is a distinctive sphere of human activity characterized by thoroughgoing and ineliminable disagreement and conflict, in which ordinary moral concerns do not obtain. Realism is a broad church with a long history but in the American political tradition the midcentury theologian and public intellectual Reinhold Niebuhr is considered a founding father. Yet Niebuhr has been largely forgotten by contemporary realists and cast aside as a historical property or Cold War relic. This dissertation reconstructs Niebuhr's political thought in order to expand our sense of what political realism might be. While many contemporary realists advocate for morally agnostic theories of modus vivendi, Niebuhr demonstrates that the realist perspective can accommodate more demanding and democratic aspirations. I describe Niebuhr's approach to political theory as "moral wayfinding", a practice which identifies the hazards and attractions of collective life without forsaking the imperative for reparative action. While other political realists prioritize political efficacy, Niebuhr emphasizes melioration through democratic means. I begin by reconsidering Niebuhr's doctrine of man and self-interest. I then explore the relationship between his moral psychology and account of self-government and democratic virtue. I conclude by explicating the way in which justice anchors the practice of moral wayfinding and supplies the ultimate good which politics can seek. |
