"[G]enuinely original.Nili speaks to some of the most pressing political questions of our age in a unique and philosophically provocative way.a rich and analytically sophisticated work.Integrity, Personal and Political will drive the discussion of integrity in moral and political philosophy for many years to come." -- Edward Hall, The Review of Politics "The work is exceptionally good. Indeed, it may well become--I think it should--a classic. In any case, it clearly deserves a wide audience by virtue of its important insights into the nature of integrity, the ease with which it traverses a wide range of disciplines (ethics, political theory, American politics, media studies), its analytic rigor, and its dexterity in bringing theory and practice together.I do not think that it is going too far to say that [Nili] has created a new subject matter for us.
" -- Marion Smiley, Perspectives on Politics "Integrity has received a mixed press from political and moral philosophers. Many regard it as at best unnecessary and at worst pernicious. Against this view, Shmulik Nili proposes an innovative account of integrity as a valuable and necessary quality of personal character and especially of political institutions, supporting rather than hindering morally and politically appropriate action by citizens and politicians. The resulting defence of integrity is both highly original and, as his discussions of Berlusconi, Trump, and Netanyahu reveal, extremely timely." -- Richard Bellamy, Professor of Political Science, University College London.
