Delving into the 'moral conditions' of his time, McCabe dissects the 'sham' inherent in political ideologies and ethical systems. This seminal work, categorized under Philosophy & Psychology, explores the pervasive influence of deception and its impact on social structures. Readers interested in ethics, moral philosophy, and general sociology will find McCabe’s analysis of enduring relevance.
