[en] This article aims to highlight the position occupied by compromise in the
field of ethics. The argument is set out in two stages. First, the author attempts to
clarify the contours of compromise by treating it as both a procedure or process of
conflict resolution and a goal or ‘‘solution’’ to be achieved. In the second stage, he
examines the distinction that could be made between ‘‘morality in compromise’’ and
‘‘morality of compromise’’, so as to measure its import and show how compromise not
only contains elements specific to morality as a system but can also be a form of
morality in itself.
