  • Financial Times Humanitarianism Without Illusions Samuel Brittan: Financial Times 27/09/02
    7/26/2019 Financial Times Humanitarianism without illusions Samuel Brittan: Financial Times 27/09/02 Take two blindingly obvious propositions:- 1 There is such a thing as human nature and this needs to be taken into account in all attempts to reform society. Theologians call it Original Sin, but you do not have to be religious to take the point. 2 There are also innate differences between individuals which cannot be wiped out by education, income redistribution or anything else. You might think that these are hardly worth discussing. The American cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker met this reaction when he told colleagues that he was working on his just published book, The Blank Slate (1). That was also my own reaction. Yet I was soon disabused. The Standard Social Science Model which denies these propositions has still not vanished. It still seems impossible to study human behaviour objectively without being accused of every kind of barbarity or of the distorted form of Darwinism which Nazi Germany and the Apartheid regime in South Africa used to justify their policies. Direct evidence turned up the other night when I was listening to a discussion of Pinker's book on the usually staid BBC Radio Three programme Night Waves. Pinker aroused the ire of the British psychologist, Oliver James who espoused the widespread view that children who had been brought up violently tended to become violent parents themselves. Pinker argues that this could be because violent tendencies are inherited. Of course, it is not all in the genes; but the main environmental influences on children come from their peers rather than their parents.
