Yet by the end of the eighteenth century, mercy had become 'an injustice committed against society . . . a manifest vice.' Mercy was exiled from political life. How this happens In this book, Malcolm Bull analyses and challenges the Enlightenment's rejection of mercy. A society operating on principles of rational self-interest had no place for something so arbitrary and contingent, and having been excluded from Hobbes's theory of the state and Hume's theory of justice, mercy disappeared from the lexicon of political theory.
