Couverture du John Morley: On Compromise (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

In this influential 1874 essay, Morley asks the question, ‘How far, and in what way, ought respect either for immediate practical convenience, or for current prejudices, to weigh against respect for truth?’ At once philosophical and practical, Morley’s essay remains relevant in today’s hyper-partisan political climate.
