{Morality and Excellence}[11th November 1970]


[Redbook1:184][19701111.0000]{Morality and Excellence}[11th November 1970]

Wed 11/11/70.

            Part of the trouble with us is, and is shown in, the two meanings of all the words meaning the same as ‘better’: this might be characterised as ‘technically better does not imply/should not imply morally better’.  ‘I am better than you’ (technically); ‘No you're not’ (morally).  This works from individual to nation-state (a nation-state being but a collection of individuals).
