Realigning Polis with Ethos, Pathos and Logos

Editorial

Abstract

I firmly believe that realigning ethical imperatives in the political landscape is a complex procedure; nonetheless, it is essential to underline the importance of transparency, accountability and ethical conducts across different facets of political structures. It supports the idea that public officials should disclose their financial dealings, promote integrity in interactions, and ensure accountability for false statements, while also being open to scrutiny regarding the political donations they receive. Furthermore, rulers are tasked with overseeing the implementation of anti-corruption measures, prioritizing human rights, addressing environmental responsibility, and applying ethical principles in both domestic and international relations. Proposals further underscore the importance of promoting education and ethical leadership among the upcoming generation, highlighting the need for civic engagement, advocating for campaign finance reform, and emphasizing the collaborative efforts of citizens, media, policymakers and various public and private institutions. Undoubtedly, it is within such a polis that a seamless integration of ethos, pathos, and logos is realized.
