The Liberal Mind

The Liberal Mind Kenneth Minogue’s book The Liberal Mind is an interpretation and analysis of liberalism as an ideology. In his analysis he goes on to reveal liberalism in its various forms; as a governing body, doctrine for change, and a moral code. Based on the content and tone of the book I would say he does not support liberalism; rather, he accepts it as the prevailing ideology of western democracy, while hinting to …

…the existence of society is vital to the development of the individual, while at the same time realizing that the individual welfare is vital to maintaining society. As to the question, which ideology is best to found a government system on? It is easiest to say that the one being used now by democracies in western civilization is the best. Since I’m a product of that civilization, I’ll have to agree. Go Liberalism!
