Democracy as a universal value

George emailed me this article written by Amartya Sen, former Master of Trinity College at Cambridge University. Although six years old, it fits in nicely with today's not entirely superficial appearance of Francis Fukuyama on Dutch television. (The website of Dutch PBS incorrectly portrays Fukuyama as the 'resident ideologue' of the Bush administration, which is bollocks: Fukuyama voted for Kerry and opposed the war against Iraq.)

Remember me?


Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
