One of the grim comedies of the twentieth century
was that miserable victims of communist regimes
would climb walls, swim rivers, dodge bullets, and
find other desperate ways to achieve liberty in the
West at the same time that progressive intellectu¬
als would sentimentally proclaim that these very
regimes were the wave of the future. A similar
tragicomedy is playing out in our century: as the
victims of despotism and backwardness from Third
World nations pour into Western states, academics
and intellectuals present Western life as a nightmare
of inequality and oppression.
In The Servile Mind: How Democracy Erodes the Moral
Life, Kenneth
Minogue
explores the intelligentsia s
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-moral posturing about admired ethical
causes
—
from solving world poverty and creating
peace to curing climate change. Today, merely
making the correct noises and parading one s essential
decency by having the correct opinions has become a
substitute for individual moral responsibilitity.
KENNETH
MINOGUE
is an emeritus professor
of political science at the
London School of Econom¬
ics. He has written books on
liberalism, nationalism, the
idea of a university, the logic
of ideology, and, more re¬
cently, democracy and the moral life. He has reviewed
in many places, and has been a columnist for The
Times, the Times Higher Education Supplement,
and other outlets. His most recent books include
Politics: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University
Press), and an edited volume, Essays in Conservative
Realism. In
1986,
he presented a six-part television
series about libertarian economics called The New
Enlightenment on Channel Four. It was repeated
in
1988.
He was the chairman of the Bruges Group
from
1991
to
1993,
and is on the board of the think
tank Civitas. He was born in New Zealand and
educated in Australia.

Instead,
Minogue
argues, we ask that our govern¬
ments carry the burden of solving our social
—
and
especially moral
—
problems for us. The sad and
frightening irony is that the more 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.
