Patrick West (born 1974, London) is a freelance writer based in the UK and Ireland. Born in London in 1974, he graduated from Manchester University in 1997 with an MA in Cultural History. He has written for ''The Times'', the ''New Statesman'', ''The Spectator'', the ''Times Literary Supplement'', ''The Irish Times'', ''The Daily Telegraph'', the ''Sunday Independent'' (Ireland), ''The Irish Post'', ''Living Marxism'' and ''The Catholic Herald''. He is author of the books ''Conspicuous Compassion'' (Civitas, 2004), ''The Poverty of Multiculturalism'' (Civitas, 2005), ''Beating Them At Their Own Game, How The Irish Conquered English Soccer'' (Liberties Press, 2006), and editor of ''The Times Questions Answered'' (HarperCollins, 2004). In ''Conspicuous Compassion'' West has advanced the argument that an "emerging culture of ostentatious caring" has arisen in Western societies and that it is really "about feeling good, not doing good". He contrasts practical compassion with what he sees as the "mawkish sentimentality" and selfishness of conspicuous compassion. He is the son of British journalist Richard West and Irish journalist Mary Kenny, the brother of the journalist Ed West, and cousin of actors Timothy West and Samuel West.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Damian Thompson on Twitter )〕 ==Bibliography== *''Conspicuous Compassion'', Civitas, 2004 *''The Poverty of Multiculturalism'', Civitas, 2005 *''Beating Them At Their Own Game, How The Irish Conquered English Soccer'', Liberties Press, 2006 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patrick West」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
