Questioning the usual judgements of political ethics, Ruth W. Grant argues that hypocrisy can actually be constructive while strictly principled behavior can be destructive. Hypocrisy and Integrity offers a new conceptual framework that clarifies the differences between idealism and fanaticism while it uncovers the moral limits of compromise.Exciting and provocative. . . . Grants work is to be highly recommended, offering a fresh reading of Rousseau and Machiavelli as well as presenting a penetrating analysis of hypocrisy and integrity.Ronald J. Terchek, American Political Science ReviewA great refreshment. . . . With liberalisms best interests at heart, Grant seeks to make available a better understanding of the limits of reason in politics.Peter Berkowitz, New Republic

Acknowledgments
In the course of writing this book, I received many and various gifts which I am very glad to be able to acknowledge here. The National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies and the Duke University Arts and Sciences Council were generous in their financial support for this project. Many colleagues and friends have given me the benefit of their learning, their criticisms and their encouragement. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Sanford Kessler and to Michael Gillespie for their careful reading of my drafts and their constant good judgment. Christopher Kelly corrected important errors on more than one occasion and led me to places in Rousseau's work where I might not have travelled otherwise. My students at Duke, particularly all those who served at various times as my research assistants, contributed much more than they realize to my understanding of the issues and (no less importantly) to my ability to complete the project. I would also like to thank Jesamine Jones for her help with the final preparation of the manuscript. Portions of chapters 35 originally appeared in an earlier article, "Integrity and Politics: An Alternative Reading of Rousseau," Political Theory 22, no. 3 (August 1994): 41443. 1994 Sage Publications, Inc. The publisher's permission to reprint this material is gratefully acknowledged.
The debt that I owe to my husband, Stephen Grant, is beyond measure. I wrote this book in the years when our children were young, and it is dedicated to them.
