John Gray: The Western mind no longer understands Putin
- chippy 5y agoHe's the philosopher that critiques the belief in Progress and not the pop psychologist who wrote about sex and planets! His idea is that progress / liberalism and western democracy doesn't naturally occur due to education and evolution, but it's something that needs to be actively defended. He warns of countries resting on their laurels. Laurels such as "progress in inevitable, therefore this other policy is also inevitable, you dont want to be on the wrong side of history".
