More Muggeridge Wisdom
Absolute moral individualism and its implications on Western society are discussed. Rousseau had claimed that his work could not be understood by one reading alone, and the analysis of Muggeridge in this discussion really requires very much the same kind of diligence for the observer in order to fully grasp the discourse.
"The decadence of the few"
becomes spread to the decadence of the many." Almost forty years on, how true those words of Malcolm Muggeridge are. We are unabashedly awash in pornography, sick in mind, body, and soul and unrepentant. Is there even remotely a program as intelligent and prescient as William F. Buckley's Firing Line? God rest their souls.
Great Find!
I saw William F. Buckley, Jr.'s interview of Malcolm Muggeridge when it aired on "Firing Line" years ago. After that show, I eagerly awaited a rerun of this same episode, and watched it with the same focus and rapt attention as I did the first time it aired. This was my fist introduction to Muggeridge, and I found him to be not only cultured and erudite, but also affable, charismatic and witty. I'm so glad to see this is available on Amazon, and can't wait to receive it.
