Specificatii
Is western civilisation based on a mistaken understanding of
humanity? Fundamental to any society is its comprehension of human
nature. It shapes attitudes and policies on a whole range of
issues: interpersonal relations, child-rearing, discipline and
punishment, economics and welfare. For millennia western societies
were based on the idea that human nature is flawed. This was turned
upside down 300 years ago during the Enlightenment by writers such
as Rousseau, who argued that we are born good and later warped by
parents and society; a liberal view of human nature which is now
being challenged by scientific discoveries in the fields of the
mind, the brain, and genetics (including the Human Genome),
evolutionary psychology, and anthropology. This fundamental change
has had profound effects. If we are essentially good then we can
safely maximize freedom and abandon morality, religion and
tradition. Many aspects of life have been liberalised - sexual
behaviour, alcohol consumption, censorship, gambling, divorce laws
and economic activity. Economic liberals thought free markets were
rational and good and favoured minimal government interference and
light-touch regulations. This led to the credit crunch and the
greatest financial crisis since World War Two. Many parents now
hesitate to discipline their own children. The belief that we are
essentially good but corrupted by society has also influenced penal
policy. Liberals see criminals as victims, not as wrongdoers;
because surely no-one would choose to do something wrong. This is a
world far removed from the self-sacrifice and fraternity shown
during World War Two. It has not brought happiness but rather more
alienated individuals. The outcome of egalitarian aims or methods
has often missed its mark: e.g., in education it has led to the
dumbing down of academic standards, grade inflation and a decline
in social mobility. Egalitarian regimes from the French Revolution
to the Soviet era have been amongst the most bigoted, brutal and
bloody in history. The drive for greater social justice and
fairness must remain an essential objective. There is, therefore,
an urgent need to separate out the positive from the negative
aspects of liberal thought and practice, as otherwise there is the
risk of descent into moral anarchy and social disintegration.
