"Something that might be useful to introduce here is a distinction that the German sociologist Max Weber made between the ethic of moral conviction and the ethic of responsibility, two different ways of thinking about how leaders address moral problems in politics. The ethic of moral conviction was what propelled Garrison; it is the point of view that says one must be true to one's principles and do the right thing, at whatever cost." --Land of Hope: An Invitation to the Great American Story (2019) by Wilfred M.
