✦ Synopsis

One belief, more than any other, is responsible for the slaughter of individuals on the altars of the great historical ideals -justice or progress or the happiness of future generations, or the sacred mission or emancipation of a nation or race or class, or even liberty itself, which demands the sacrifi ce of individuals for the freedom or society. This is the belief that somewhere, in the past or in the future, in divine revelation or in the mind of an individual thinker, in the pronouncements of history or science, or in the simple heart of an uncorrupted good man, there is a fi nal solution. This ancient faith rests on the conviction that all the positive values in which men have believed must, in the end, be compatible, and perhaps even entail one another. "Nature binds truth, happiness and virtue together as by an indissoluble chain". (Berlin, 1958, p. 167) The voice of reason is a soft one, but it does not rest till it gains a hearing. (Sigmund Freud, 1927) Self-righteousness in the Middle East
