Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In the tradition of Samuel Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations and Reinhold Niebuhr's Moral Man and Immoral Society, this book asks a question that most moral philosophy has been too polite to raise: what happens to morality itself when it becomes powerful?Professor Babu George argues th…at every moral system, regardless of its origins or intentions, undergoes a predictable and dangerous transformation when it scales beyond the limits of human intimacy. It ceases to function as a guide for personal conduct and becomes instead a mechanism for coordination, control, and eventually coercion. Drawing on the histories of Rome, Christianity, revolutionary France, colonial empires, totalitarian regimes, and modern technocratic democracies, George traces a recurring pattern: morality, once institutionalized, drifts away from lived ethics, merges with authority, justifies harm through abstraction, and suppresses the very consciences that originally gave it life.The book introduces several original concepts, including "moral autoimmunity," in which large ethical systems attack the individuals within them who retain strong personal judgment; "the priesthood of virtue," describing how moral specialists acquire unchecked power precisely because they deny exercising it; and "the invisible morality of secular systems," which explains how technocratic governance claims neutrality while enforcing deeply moral assumptions beyond the reach of democratic debate.George's thesis is neither nihilistic nor cynical. He does not argue that morality is worthless, but that it is never innocent. The book concludes with a defense of moral modesty, pluralism, and the irreducible importance of individual conscience against the gravitational pull of large systems. It is a work that challenges progressives and conservatives alike, and that asks every reader to reconsider the relationship between moral conviction and moral humility.This is a book for anyone who has sensed that something has gone wrong with our public moral life but has lacked the historical and philosophical framework to articulate what it is.
