"Politik ialah pemahaman perkara mengelola, menyelenggarakan kebijakan, dan pengambilan keputusan untuk menyejahterakan rakyat. Namun, kerap kali tindakan politik tidak lepas dari dirty hands demi mencapai tujuan politik. Machiavelli menyarankan bahwa aktor politik harus belajar bagaimana tidak menjadi baik. Pada zaman kontemporer, diskusi mengenai dirty hands dimunculkan kembali pada tulisan Michael Walzer. Walzer mengatakan bahwa dirty hands perlu bagi seorang aktor politik bila tidak ada alternatif lain selain melanggar kaidah moralitas demi kepentingan politik atau untuk menghindari kemungkinan datangnya ancaman. Pembahasan mengenai persoalan dirty hands dengan moralitas membutuhkan refleksi kritis untuk menemukan jalan keluar guna menemukan tindakan politik yang tepat.

Politics is an understanding to manage, administer policies, and decision-making for people welfare. However, often political action can not be separated from dirty hands in order to achieve political goal. Machiavelli suggests that political actors must learn how not to be good. In the contemporary times, discussion about dirty hands raised again in the writings of Michael Walzer. Walzer says that dirty hands need for a political actor when no other alternative but to violate morality rules for the sake of political goal or to avoid the possibility of a threat. Discussion about dirty hands with morality requires critical reflection to find a way out in order to find the right political action"

"Globalization happens when the social institutions, such as the economy, political and cultural realm undergo change. Nevertheless, the high extent, intensity and velocity of globalization become an inevitable fact. Meanwhile, globalization has generated social and ideological processes, marked by the market ideology of neoliberalism reaching out to globalism. Hans Kung addressed globalism with his formula of global ethics emphasizing on the new global institution and the new global ethics."

"A Harvard law professor explores the meaning of justice and invites readers on a journey of moral and political reflection, 'to figure out what they think, and why.' Does a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder 'deserve' the Purple Heart? Should the U.S. government formally apologize and make reparations for slavery? Is it wrong to lie to a murderer? Following the taxpayer bailout of the company, are executives at insurance giant A.I.G. still entitled to their bonuses? Should a professional golfer afflicted with a severe circulatory condition be allowed to use a golf cart during tournaments? Are you obliged to surrender your criminal brother to the FBI? Although Sandel concedes that answering the many questions he poses, bound up 'with competing notions of honor and virtue, pride and recognition,' is never easy and inevitably contentious, it's necessary for a healthy democracy. 'Justice,' he writes, 'is inescapably judgmental.' Using three approaches to justice-maximizing welfare, respecting freedom and promoting virtue-the author asks readers to ponder the meaning of the good life, the purpose of politics, how laws should be constructed and how society should be organized. Using a compelling, entertaining mix of hypotheticals, news stories, episodes from history, pop-culture tidbits, literary examples, legal cases and teachings from the great philosophers-principally, Aristotle, Kant, Bentham, Mill and Rawls-Sandel takes on a variety of controversial issues-abortion, same-sex marriage, affirmative action-and forces us to confront our own assumptions, biases and lazy thought. The author has a talent for making the difficult-Kant's 'categorical imperative' or Rawls's 'difference principle'-readily comprehensible, and his relentless, though never oppressive, reason shines throughout the narrative. Sparkling commentary from the professor we all wish we had"
