Statecraft as soulcraft

In 'Statecraft as Soulcraft', George F. Will argues that government inevitably influences the moral fabric of society, and thus, it should actively consider the values and virtues it promotes.

He challenges conservative ideologies by advocating for a more nuanced understanding of government's role in fostering social justice and moral education.

The book reflects on the philosophical underpinnings of American political theory, critiquing the dominance of self-interest in Western political thought.
