Democracy and Leadership
''Democracy and Leadership'' is a book by Irving Babbitt, with a foreword by Russell Kirk. It was published by Liberty Fund Inc., and first printed in 1924.
==Synopsis==
Babbitt criticizes what he calls the naturalistic movement in modern Western society. He distinguishes two aspects of this movement, letting Francis Bacon exemplify its mechanistic and utilitarian side and Jean-Jacques Rousseau its sentimental side. Both ignore the need to order human life with reference to a transcendent ethical principle. The utilitarian and sentimental dispositions are frequently joined in a single individual. According to Babbitt, no amount of sentimental “love” or sociopolitical activism can substitute for a lack of real moral character. The book rejects historical deterministic philosophies from Saint Augustine to Bossuet. It details political philosophy from Aristotle onwards, explaining how governmental philosophies have tried and failed over time. In the book, Babbitt provides a convincing critique of "unchecked majoritarianism," while dealing with the issue of how to find leaders who have high standards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Leadership-Irving-Babbitt/dp/0913966541 )〕
