A few years before his death in 2019, Salvador Giner noted the extreme difficulty of durably realizing the "precarious state" of social concord and the relative ease with which societies experience "a natural state" of discord. So he recalled his decades-long intellectual project of developing a republican political theory that seeks optimal social relations while pessimistically assuming the inevitability of discord. This article argues that Giner's pessimistic outlook is evinced through the heterogeneous ethical philosophical theoriesdeontology, consequentialism, and virtue ethics-he proposes as guiding principles of republicanism. These theories must necessarily coexist, though they are ultimately incompatible
