Focusing attention on vitally important questions that have received surprisingly little attention, Margalit argues that we should be concerned not only.;Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1. Two Pictures of Political Compromise -- 2. Varieties of Compromise -- 3. Compromising for Peace -- 4. Compromise and Political Necessity -- 5. The Morality of Rotten Compromises -- 6. Sectarianism and Compromise -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Index.
