ABSTRACT
Jean Bethke Elshtain maintains an open and explicit connection between her personal and intellectual concerns throughout her vast work on the history of political thought, political and international theory, social theory, moral philosophy and women’s studies. Her journey involves a search
for a voice through which to traverse the terrain between particular loves and loyalties and public duties. The stakes are terrifyingly high…. This struggle is not war…but it is a fight, a fight that pits the moral voice against the insistencies of statecraft.
