Overview
In The Servile Mind: How Democracy Erodes the Moral Life, Kenneth Minogue explores the intelligentsiaās love affair with social perfection and reveals how that idealistic dream is destroying exactly what has made the inventive Western world irresistible to the peoples of foreign lands. The Servile Mind looks at how Western morality has evolved into mere politico-moralā posturing about admired ethical causesfrom solving world poverty and creating peace to curing climate change. Today, merely making the correct noises and parading oneās essential decency by having the correct opinions has became a substitute for individual moral actions.
Instead, Minogue posits, we ask that our government carry the burden of solving our socialand especially moralproblems for us. The sad and frightening irony is that as we allow the state to determine our moral order and inner convictions, the more we need to be told how to behave and what to think.
