    • Shklar recognizes that hypocritical behavior is morally suspect and that hypocrisy can blind liberal citizens to cruelty, yet she still maintains that liberals must continue to rank eliminating cruelty over hypocrisy: "Because cruelty is made easier by hypocrisy and self-deception, these two vices are bound to stand high on the list that begins with cruelty" (Ordinary Vices, 12).

    • On Hypocrisy
    • This example has a lot of currency in the philosophic literature on hypocrisy. Both Judith Shklar and Eva Feder Kittay build their arguments that hypocrisy should not be understood as an opprobrium by using this example. See Eva Feder Kittay, "On Hypocrisy," Metaphilosophy 13 (1982): 277-89. This case is exceptional, though, in a number of ways. First, its moral currency comes from a (rightful in my opinion) consensus that racism is an unqualified evil. The extent to which the hypocrite's non-hypocritical behavior would contribute to that evil necessitates that hypocrisy cannot be all that bad. However, the political realm does not typically rest on issues that generate such a strong moral consensus. What is frustrating and interesting about hypocrisy is the extent to which it can appeal to the values that it seeks to undermine. Consequently, I would concede that cases like the racist citizen who does not act racist could bolster the practice of liberal values; however, such examples do not account for the extent to which a general perception that political elites do not mean what they say and consistently act in ways that undermine the values to which they publicly subscribe is malignant to liberal democracies. As I will argue below, such an acceptance of hypocrisy as a way of life is unhealthy for liberal political institutions.

    • note
    • Notice that I ascribe actions to states and speak of a state's commitment to morality. Some people may find such talk problematic. The problem of collective action is one that I cannot adequately address here. I think that there is an important point in talking about state actions and commitments: the norms and practices of the institutions that make up a state shape the behavior of those who play roles within those institutions, so the actions of a state are not simply the sum of the actions of its individual political actors. But since I cannot here fully defend this idea, I want, for present purposes, my talk of a state's actions to be understood simply as shorthand for actions people undertake in their political institutional roles.

    • The hypothetical example is based on a recent controversy between UN debt payment and international family planning programs. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright described the administration's views of the compromise reached as "deeply dissatisfied" with restrictions on aid to family planning groups that it reluctantly accepted in order to obtain money to pay U.S. debts to the United Nations in the fiscal 2000 budget.

    • note
    • It is unclear whether hypocrisy need always involve conscious misrepresentation since the hypocrite's avowed standards of proper conduct are what condemn the actions. When a person unknowingly acts in ways that contradict his public statements or when the person changes his mind about his standards, the acts don't quite seem as hypocritical. Accusations of hypocrisy can have the additional instrumental effect of revealing unintended 'hypocrisy.'

    • Vaclav Havel claimed that "This war places human rights above the rights of the state. (This war) happened out of respect for the law, for a law that ranks higher than the law which protects the sovereignty of states. The alliance has acted out of respect for human rights, as both conscience and international legal documents dictate." in "Kosovo and the End of the Nation-State," The New York Review (June 10, 1999): 6.

    • President Clinton admitted that the desire to end violence "does not mean our response in every case can or should be the same. Sometimes, collective military force is both appropriate and feasible. Sometimes, concerted economic and political pressure combined with diplomacy is a better answer"(Donnelly, "At UN, Clinton says U.S. can't Stop Brutalities by itself," A1).

    • Dirty hands arguments can also be used hypocritically. Public officials can pretend to feel guilty or justify a cruel decision by appealing loo readily to expediency. I would like to thank Dennis Thompson for reminding me of this point.

    • Though "putting cruelty first might help one to decide who the victim of any movement is," it does not settle "the confusion, skepticism, misanthropy and other assorted intellectual muddles" that come with political commitments (Shklar, Ordinary Vices, 22). Shklar's ranking of the vices is one way to interject clarity into political agendas; however, her attempt to prioritize outside of a given political context and at the expense of institutional effects fails to consider the instances when the elimination of hypocrisy must occur in order to eliminate cruelty.

    • Such tensions have been highlighted by a number of recent theorists. Most recently, Ian Shapiro's Democratic Justice has attempted to reconcile the tensions between democratic processes and a commitment to justice. Other theorists, such as Charles Beitz's discussion of political equality or Melissa Williams's analysis of representation, point out similar tensions in liberal ideas. See Ian Shapiro's Democratic Justice (London: Yale University Press, 1999); Charles Beitz, Political Equality: An Essay in Democratic Theory (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1989); and Melissa Williams, Voice, Trust, and Memory: Marginalized Groups and the Failings of Liberal Representation (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1998).

    • Many forms of the incarceration of convicted felons in the United States are unjustifiably cruel in my opinion. Amnesty International has recently documented the horrors of using restraints on pregnant prisoners, employing male prison guards to supervise female prisoners, and the so-called 'supermaximum security' segregation units, "where growing numbers of prisoners were kept in long-term isolation in small, sometimes windowless cells, in conditions of reduced sensory stimulation" (Amnesty International Report 2000 at http:/www.web.amnesty.org/web/ar2000web.nsf/countries).

    • Like Shklar, I am wary of the rhetorical devices used to cope with "the fact of pluralism" - that is, to focus on the authenticity of a person's belief instead of disagreeing with the content of his or her belief. Shklar reinvigorates public discussions by demanding that the eradication of cruelty needs to be put first. However, my discussion has shown that hypocrisy and cruelty can sometimes be inextricably linked so that one's political agenda cannot be arranged according to lexical preferences.
