"Fortunately the Western world has not for a long time seen the real horrors that this entails in terms of brutality and devastation. Yet we are not completely immune from appealing to "principles" in order to help us avoid some of the harsher consequences of our policies and preferences. They may in themselves be good and positive principles, not like the destructive ideologies of the past century. But we're bound to be uncomfortably aware at the moment that what looked like a principled defence of some of our economic assumptions (this is what real wealth creation means and there is no other coherent way of defending it) seems more ragged and vulnerable than it once did." I don't pretend to understand Rowan Williams. Here his argument, or rather his assertion, seems to be that any attempt to understand the world rationally is evil. He's like an Alisa Rosenbaum parody of a liberal intellectual. -- It is an ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way. -Rollo May _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
