Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries
Posted May 31, 2005
HUMAN EVENTS asked a panel of 15 conservative scholars and public policy
leaders to help us compile a list of the Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th
and 20th Centuries. Each panelist nominated a number of titles and then
voted on a ballot including all books nominated. A title received a score of
10 points for being listed No. 1 by one of our panelists, 9 points for being
listed No. 2, etc. Appropriately, The Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx and
Friedrich Engels, earned the highest aggregate score and the No. 1 listing.
1. The Communist Manifesto
Authors: Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels
Publication date: 1848
Score: 74
2. Mein Kampf
Author: Adolf Hitler
Publication date: 1925-26
Score: 41
3. Quotations from Chairman Mao
Author: Mao Zedong
Publication date: 1966
Score: 38
4. The Kinsey Report
Author: Alfred Kinsey
Publication date: 1948
Score: 37
Summary: Alfred Kinsey was a zoologist at Indiana University who, in 1948,
published a study called Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, commonly known
as The Kinsey Report. Five years later, he published Sexual Behavior in the
Human Female. The reports were designed to give a scientific gloss to the
normalization of promiscuity and deviancy. "Kinsey's initial report,
released in 1948 . . . stunned the nation by saying that American men were
so sexually wild that 95% of them could be accused of some kind of sexual
offense under 1940s laws," the Washington Times reported last year when a
movie on Kinsey was released. "The report included reports of sexual
activity by boys--even babies--and said that 37% of adult males had had at
least one homosexual experience. . . . The 1953 book also included reports
of sexual activity involving girls younger than age 4, and suggested that
sex between adults and children could be beneficial."
5. Democracy and Education
Author: John Dewey
Publication date: 1916
Score: 36
Summary: John Dewey, who lived from 1859 until 1952, was a "progressive"
philosopher and leading advocate for secular humanism in American life, who
taught at the University of Chicago and at Columbia. He signed the Humanist
Manifesto and rejected traditional religion and moral absolutes. In
Democracy and Education, in pompous and opaque prose, he disparaged
schooling that focused on traditional character development and endowing
children with hard knowledge, and encouraged the teaching of thinking
"skills" instead. His views had great influence on the direction of American
education--particularly in public schools--and helped nurture the Clinton
generation.
6. Das Kapital
Author: Karl Marx
Publication date: 1867-1894
Score: 31
7. The Feminine Mystique
Author: Betty Friedan
Publication date: 1963
Score: 30
Summary: In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan, born in 1921, disparaged
traditional stay-at-home motherhood as life in "a comfortable concentration
camp"--a role that degraded women and denied them true fulfillment in life.
She later became founding president of the National Organization for Women.
Her original vocation, tellingly, was not stay-at-home motherhood but
left-wing journalism. As David Horowitz wrote in a review for Salon.com of
Betty Friedan and the Making of the Feminine Mystique by Daniel Horowitz (no
relation to David): The author documents that "Friedan was from her college
days, and until her mid-30s, a Stalinist Marxist, the political intimate of
the leaders of America's Cold War fifth column and for a time even the lover
of a young Communist physicist working on atomic bomb projects in Berkeley's
radiation lab with J. Robert Oppenheimer."
8. The Course of Positive Philosophy
Author: Auguste Comte
Publication date: 1830-1842
Score: 28
9. Beyond Good and Evil
Author: Freidrich Nietzsche
Publication date: 1886
Score: 28
10. General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
Author: John Maynard Keynes
Publication date: 1936
Score: 23

In effetti mi sembra uno che ha fatto danni
(ma il riassunto è troppo breve)..nella lista manca
il dott. Spock (lo psicoloco, non il vucaniano che il Signor
Spock)
Sul resto, non so.
Darwin mi sembra sbagliato mettercelo, Freud
ha fatto danni ma ha anche aperto una strada
(che però si è molto "descientifizzata").
Ciao!

Chi? Quelli della rivista? Mah, visto l'andazzo
lo odiano per aver inventato la psicanalisi che poi ha generato gente
come Spock e quell'altro citato. Insomma gente che ha detto un sacco
di fesserie e fatto molti danni mettendo davanti una laurea e nessuna
dimostrazione pratica di ciò che affermavano...alla lunga si è dimostrato
che erano errori (in alcuni casi hanno distorto le prognosi ed alcune

ritenute psicologiche si è scoperto essere neurologiche)

Dato che avevo voglia di brividi perversi, sono andato a visitarmi il sito. 
Mi sono imbattuto in un articolo che commentava il risultato del referendum 
francese sulla costituzione europea. Devo ammettere che Human Events non lo 
commentava in maniera straordinariamente piu' entusiasta di quanto abbiano 
fatto il Manifesto o Liberazione. Francamente ho trovato questa consonanza 
persino piu' inquietante di aver messo all' indice Darwin.
Te lo posto qui sotto l' articolo, giusto per aggiungere brivido a brivido.

Long Live France
by Terence P. Jeffrey
Posted Jun 1, 2005
French voters did themselves a favor and Americans, too, on Sunday when they
voted down a single constitution for a homogenized Europe.
As France debated the issue, it became clear that a major aim of the
proposed European Union constitution was to begin building a new power bloc
that could counter the United States and neutralize those peoples within
Europe who persist in believing they share interests and values with the
American people when it comes to the conduct of politics among nations.
It would have done this by subordinating all 25-member nations to a single
foreign-and-security-policy bureaucracy.
The proposed European Union constitution would have created a single
European president and a single European foreign minister.  European voters
would not have been allowed to directly elect these chief executives of
their new over-government, however.  Instead, a council made up of European
heads of government would have chosen the president unilaterally, and the
minister of foreign affairs subject to a vote of consent in the European
Parliament.
The purpose of the new European president and foreign minister would have
been to conduct a single European foreign and security policy.
"The Union," said the draft constitution, "shall have competence to define
and implement a common foreign and security policy, including the
progressive framing of a common defence policy."
"Member States," it said, "shall actively and unreservedly support the
Union's
common foreign and security policy in a spirit of loyalty and mutual
solidarity and shall comply with the Union's action in this area. They shall
refrain from action contrary to the Union's interests or likely to impair
its effectiveness."
"Member States," it also said, "shall make civilian and military
capabilities available to the Union for the implementation of the common
security and defence policy, to contribute to the objectives defined by the
Council."
As the constitution was drafted, these powers were hedged by providing that
decisions be made unanimously by member nations on foreign policy questions.
That would have either rendered the EU foreign-policy apparatus a paper
tiger, similar to the UN Security Council, or led to future changes fully
and effectively consolidating foreign-policy power in the central European
government.
If the latter occurred, the EU could direct all of Europe to side with, or
against, America in future international crises.
One strong clue of the direction the EU might take with such power can be
found on the business pages of Tuesday's newspapers, where it was reported
the United States will sue the EU in the World Trade Organization because of
the EU's ongoing subsidies for Airbus.  A consortium of European governments
formed Airbus more than three decades ago to compete in the global market
for commercial jetliners.  In those days, multiple American manufacturers
dominated the field.  Since then, backed by billions in government
subsidies, Airbus has forced the U.S. jetliner industry to consolidate into
a single manufacturer, Boeing.  And Airbus now controls a bigger share of
the global market than Boeing.
EU's Airbus subsidies have an unmistakable aim--and it is not to advance
free trade.  It is to defeat in global competition the last U.S.
manufacturer of jetliners.
Given control of a unified European foreign-and-security policy, would the
EU treat the U.S. as any less of a rival?
In the last great international crisis--the question of what to do about
Saddam Hussein--EU nations split on whether they were with America or
against her.  England, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic
were among those supporting the U.S.  France and Germany, whose governments
have led the charge for the EU constitution, were not.  Because a single
European constitution did not commit these nations to a single foreign
policy, they weighed their own interests and went their own ways.
But what path would a single Euro-government follow in a crisis that pits,
say, the U.S. against China?  Hint: Airbus is now fighting with Boeing for
China's lucrative jetliner market.
In his ill-fated push for French ratification of the EU constitution, French
President Jacques Chirac unmistakably portrayed America as Europe's rival.
"During his few appearances during this campaign," noted the Economist, "Mr
Chirac has drawn on one of his favourite themes: the need to create 'a
European power', strong enough 'to count in tomorrow's world' faced with the
American superpower, as well as with rising powers such as China. Such a
'Europe puissance', with its own defence capability, would naturally be of
French inspiration, not 'Anglo-Saxon, atlanticist'. It is a popular theme,
which Mr Chirac used to near-universal French acclaim when opposing the Iraq
war."
But French voters would not trade their sovereignty for Chirac's dream of a
European superpower that can thwart the United States. The world will be
better for it
