Prof. Oakeshott - Parte I

Parece que Vital Moreira, depois da maioria absoluta do PS, anda com umas crises de cultura democrática. Aqui tem então uma liçãozinha de Michael Oakeshott:

"Moreover, he is fortified by a belief in a reason common to all mankind, a common power of rational consideration, wich is the ground and inspiration of argument: set up on his door is the percept of Parmenides--judge by rational argument. But besides this, wich gives the Rationalist a touch of intellectual equalitarianism, he is something also of an individualist, finding it difficult to belive that anyone who can think honestly and clearly will think differently from himself."

- Michael Oakeshott, "Rationalism in Politics"
