• W1984335064 abstract "T nHE distance between the prongs of dilemmatic horns increases the farther they are projected from the substance in which they take root. In a discussion of Political Morality in this Journal (October, I938) Professor Arthur Liebert projected the alternatives of human activity so far that a real dilemma was created thereby; the horn upon which he pinned himself appears hardly less deadly than that which he avoided. Man indeed faces an unpromising future if, in his dissatisfaction with the inept platitudes of responsibility, self-determination, and of freedom, he has no choice but to turn to a rigidly deterministic which finds its sources exclusively in considerations and deferences. This dichotomy of political determination versus self-determination seems to me a very questionable disjunction of the factors of human activity. In the first place it is a much too simple statement of the complex problem of individual activity and social organization. That the rigidity of totalitarian structure should afford the only possible alternative to the insufficiencies evidenced by crass individualism appears an arbitrary limitation of the possibilities of human activity and organization. That the intelligence of man should find itself forced to choose between a liberty which is stupid license and a security which is irrational determination-that is to render trivial all the factors of activity, organization, and intelligence. Such rigid alternatives are possible only at the emotional level of discourse, and the emotional or ideological level appears to be common to discussions of liberalism versus totalitarianism. I hold no brief for totalitarian governments; most of us would have little difficulty in matching Professor Liebert's antipathies, hate for hate; but I seriously question that the emotionalism of liberal attitudes of defense will be conducive to any other clarification than the questionable settlement of war, the final diremption of ideological emotionalism. As a matter of fact, it appears that liberalism is beating with its own symbols the very chant of the dictators, but with so much clatter and confusion that the tune is well-nigh drowned in the accompaniment. Professor Liebert contends that totalitarian governments have subordinated morality to politics, whereas it is his belief that moral values can be maintained only if politics are subordinated to morality. The terminology in which this argument is cast is confusing; what Professor Liebert apparently intends is that certain social movements are expressive of a kind of morality which is not consistent with the principles of personal ideal-" @default.
