## Introductory thumbnail Themes and Sketches: Some Important Archetypes of Personalities and Philosophies:

We start with a chart which lists all of the important values, as far as we can see, that come into our considerations. The next chart describes five basic character structures, each of which emphasizes a different syndrome of values. We argue that this is a fairly basic chart (similar to Chart 4 on page 11 but with two more columns) in that most of our future secular political and social ideologies are likely to emphasize different combinations of the first three columns, while in past centuries, columns four and five played a much more important and sometimes dominating role. In particular, we suggested on page 11 that there would be a new kind of a confrontation between what we called the humanist left and the responsible center, and *Chart 3* indicates that in their different ways both groups are revolutionary, or at least focusing attention on change. (*Chart 7* on page 11 gives other characteristics these two groups have in common. There is a much more detailed discussion of these groups and the possible issues that they may create or focus on in one of our other Chart Collections.)

*Chart 4* groups values in a somewhat different way, by "occupation" or roles. We indicate only three of the many possibilities, but they are among the most important. One could easily think of the old English public school system as focusing attention, in roughly the order given here, on the unit commander values; while in some real sense the French school system, including *les grandes ecoles*, tends to focus attention on the second column; and U.S. school systems, at least before 1958, focused attention on the third column. (Since 1958, however, we would probably have to change the words "unaggressive" and "easy-going.") Today American students work very hard, but, to some degree, they are really quite careerist, and their major objective (as well as the school's) is getting themselves accepted by a good college.

*Chart 5* has some things to say about those who tend to accept the "social contract" and who are usually the most ardent supporters of the system. (Often both the upper and the lower classes have a much weaker commitment.)

### ③ BOTH GROUPS BELIEVE THIS IS A CRISIS OF VALUES

GOD'S WILL

REVOLUTIONARY END OF INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
FAVORS DESTRUCTION OF SYSTEM, CONFRONTATION TACTICS USED TO "SHOCK" THE MASSES
ADULTS SHOULD IN EFFECT SURRENDER TO THE YOUNG RESPONSIBILITIES TO MAKE MORAL DECISIONS
RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF INSTITUTIONS NEEDED, ELECTORAL PROCESS HAS BECOME INADEQUATE, INCREASINGLY THE POLITICIZED GROUPS SEARCH FOR APPEALING ISSUES TO RADICALIZE AND MOBILIZE MASSES

HUMANIST LEFT

RATIONAL CENTER

THRESHOLD OF NEW TECHNOLOGICAL, AFFLUENT, AND HUMANIST SOCIETY

FAVORS REBUILDING SYSTEM FROM WITHIN, PREVENT CONFRONTATION, SO AS NOT TO "ANTAGONIZE" MASSES AND VARIOUS VESTED INTERESTS

CONCESSIONS SHOULD NOT BECOME THE PREVAILING PATTERN, FIRM AND MORAL DECISIONS NEEDED FROM LEADERS

REVOLUTIONARY SITUATIONS CAN ARISE ONLY IF SOCIETY IS ALLOWED TO UNDERGO SERIOUS MALAISE AND ITS VALUES AND AUTHORITIES ARE QUESTIONED. ONLY CHANGE TO CONFIDENT, COMPETENT, DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP AND CHARISMATIC PROGRAMS CAN NOW PREVENT MALAISE AND EROSION OF MORALE

④ DESIRABLE QUALITIES FOR A SUCCESSFUL:

| UNIT COMMANDER | POLITICIAN | GOOD CITIZEN |
|---|---|---|
| SERIOUS | "REALISTIC" | LAW ABIDING |
| DISCIPLINED | PERSUASIVE | DECENT |
| LOYAL | "UNSCRUPULOUS" | HELPFUL |
| AUTHORITATIVE | LIKEABLE | HONEST |
| COURAGEOUS | DISCREET | UNAGGRESSIVE |
| TOUGH | CALCULATING | SINCERE |
| COMPETENT | TOUGH | TRUSTWORTHY |
| AGGRESSIVE | RESPONSIVE | STRAIGHTFORWARD |
| STUBBORN | AGGRESSIVE | RESPONSIVE |
| PROUD | FLEXIBLE | GENEROUS |
| RESOLVED | SUBTLE | FRIENDLY |
| HARD | TACTFUL | COURTEOUS |
| INVENTIVE | IMAGINATIVE | EASYGOING |
| AUSTERE | HARDWORKING | LIKEABLE |
| PURPOSEFUL | SHREWD | (TECHNICALLY AND VOCATIONALLY COMPETENT?) |
| PATIENT | | |

### ⑦ A DEFINITION OF A "GENTLEMAN"
(OR CLASSICAL MAN OF LEISURE)

1. HAS MANY SKILLS AND ATTAINMENTS

2. ALL OF WHICH ARE DIFFICULT

3. IN ALL OF WHICH HE EXCELS (OR HE WOULD NOT BE WELL-ROUNDED)

4. NONE OF WHICH ARE USEFUL

5. BUT ALL OF WHICH CAN BE FUN TO EXERCISE

6. AND SUCH "FUN" IS TAKEN PLAYFULLY AND SERIOUSLY (NOT GRIMLY, INTENSELY, OR LIGHTLY)

IF ONE ADDS A SENSE OF CLASS AND NOBLESSE OBLIGE, ONE HAS AN ARISTOCRAT

### ⑪ THE (GREEK) EPICUREAN OUTLOOK

1. BASED ON EMPHASIZING SENSATION, EMOTIONS, PLEASURE OF THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL

2. CRITERION OF GOOD AND EVIL IS SENSATION, I.E., "PLEASURE"

3. POWER AND PUBLIC LIFE DISTURB THE SOUL

4. WHEN THE BODY DIES IT RETURNS TO ATOMS; WHEN THE SOUL LEAVES, THE BODY HAS NO "SENSATIONS"

5. THERE SHOULD BE NO FEAR OF DEATH, GODS, OR NATURAL LAWS

1. PLEASURE IS "ABSENCE OF PAIN," NOT ACTIVE ENJOYMENT (OR HEDONISM)

2. HAPPINESS IS THE QUIET MIND, WISE AND RIGHTEOUS LIVING

### ⑧ NEGRITUDE - A HERETICAL PHILOSOPHY

MERCY! MERCY FOR OUR OMNISCIENT CONQUERORS

HURRAY FOR THOSE WHO NEVER INVENTED ANYTHING

HURRAY FOR THOSE WHO NEVER EXPLORED ANYTHING

HURRAY FOR THOSE WHO NEVER CONQUERED ANYTHING

HURRAY FOR JOY

HURRAY FOR LOVE

HURRAY FOR THE PAIN OF INCARNATE TEARS.

AIME CESAIRE,
CAHIER D'UN RETOUR AU PAYS
NATALE

### ⑫ THE (ROMAN) STOIC OUTLOOK

1. THE FOUR CARDINAL VIRTUES ARE: WISDOM, JUSTICE, COURAGE AND TEMPERANCE

2. BUT FORTITUDE AND INDIFFERENCE TO PAIN AND SORROW ARE ALSO IMPORTANT

3. ONLY SUCH VIRTUE JUSTIFIES POWER

4. BUT VIRTUE IS ITS OWN REWARD

5. EVEN A SLAVE CAN BE VIRTUOUS

6. THERE IS A BASIC NATURAL LAW GOVERNING MANKIND

7. UNDER THIS NATURAL LAW ALL MEN ARE BASICALLY EQUAL

4. HEROIC OR ARDUOUS EFFORTS TO PROTECT OR FURTHER 1 TO 3 ABOVE, OR OTHER DEMONSTRATION OF LOYALTY TO "THE SYSTEM" (OR TO ONE'S OWN IDEOLOGICAL OR IDEALIZED BUT ACCEPTABLE VERSION OF THE SAME).

COMMENTS ON THE (GREEK) CYNIC OUTLOOK

1. DIOGENES (WHO FOLLOWED ANTISTHENES) CHOSE TO LEAD A "CYNIC" (LIKE A DOG) LIFE. HIS FATHER WAS A COUNTERFEITER AND IT HAS BEEN CONJUGATED THAT HE WISHED TO SHOW THAT THE WHOLE WORLD WAS ALSO COUNTERFEIT.

2. THIS "TOTAL" REJECTION OF GREEK VALUES TOOK PLACE AT THE SAME TIME AS THE CONQUEST OF "THE WORLD" BY ALEXANDER THE GREAT (I.E., BY GREEKS AND MACEDONIANS).

3. HAS OTHER IMPORTANT RESEMBLANCES TO BOTH THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT AND THE CURRENT HIPPIES.

4. THE CYNIC SCHOOL WAS AN IMPORTANT PREDECESSOR OF THE EPICUREANS AND STOICS--FOR OUR PURPOSES THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT SUBSEQUENT SCHOOLS OF GREEK PHILOSOPHY.

APPENDIX: THUMBNAIL DESCRIPTION

1. A. PAX AMERICANA
   1. HEGEMONIAL
   2. SPECIFIC OR CONSENSUAL

These themes emphasize the universality of American values. The political and other values that inspire Americans are thought to be widely shared, and to point a way to the ultimate well-being of mankind, and at the least to lead to a more just and workable social order than Communism.

The advocates of the "hegemonial" theme envisage long-term American leadership to give effect to American--or America's universal--values. The U.S. might be the predominant leader (or even ruler) of the non-Communist world and eventually extend its influence and authority to countries presently under Communist rule. The second theme is a milder version of the first: American leadership would be limited to certain specified activities, or limited by the extent of others' consent to that leadership, or limited in both ways.

4. D. DEMOCRATIC INTERVENTIONISM
   7. LIBERAL ACTIVISM
   8. AGGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT

This theme recommends energetic, far-reaching measures to establish and protect democracy abroad. The cause of democracy inside and outside the U.S. is linked together. Democracy can be lost at home and abroad, or it can be secured, depending on how great an effort is made to establish it as the world-wide norm.

One theme (7) is something like projection abroad of the ideas of social welfare and civil liberty that are summed up in the word "liberalism." The other theme (8) would be more likely to imply forceful measures to defeat the adversaries and support the friends of representative government. Either theme would permit and even encourage other countries besides the United States to take initiative in extending "liberal democracy" or "social democracy."

7. G. ALTRUISTIC REFORM
   17. CRUSADE FOR DEVELOPMENT
   18. LEGAL
   19. UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT AND PACIFISM

These themes maintain that the U.S. is powerful and secure enough to build a better world without concentrating on narrow national goals. Proponents may also argue that this is a way of creating a world environment favorable to peace and the long-run survival of the American system.

Proponents of "Crusade for Development" urge that a high proportion of U.S. resources should be put forth to accelerate economic development. Major social and political benefits are expected from increases in productivity. The "Legal Altruist" emphasizes the development of effective international law. Those who favor Unilateral Disarmament and Pacifism generally emphasize the morality of this policy, but often urge its value on instrumental grounds as well.

A distinctive characteristic of these themes is the argument that what should be done should be "for its own sake--but it will have rewards." The implication is that policy can and should be disinterested, and in particular that the U.S. should offer assistance to existing adversaries as well as allies.

10. J. ANTI-INTERVENTIONISM (AUSTERE INTERVENTION)
   27. SKEPTICAL ALTRUISM
   28. NATIONAL INTEREST (PRAGMATIC EGOISM)

According to these themes current U.S. involvements abroad are much less productive, less necessary, and possibly more counterproductive than is commonly believed. These themes may emphasize the limits on U.S. resources and skills in foreign policy, and also the limits on others' capacity to benefit from any disinterested good works the U.S. might attempt. In its foreign involvements, and perhaps especially in trying to deal with the internal conditions of other countries, U.S. policy should be "austere."

2. B. U.S.-S.U. PARTNERSHIP OR JOINT
   3. HEGEMONIAL
   4. SPECIFIC OR CONSENSUAL

These themes emphasize the common goals of the U.S. and S.U. and their power to achieve them by securing a favorable environment for Chinese, German and perhaps Japanese together have about half the world's (which is approximately ten times that of their economic and military strengths) if their economic and military strengths were used cooperatively, it is calculated to force world-wide agreement on the potential use of the two peoples.

Both themes urge going beyond to a partnership or "special relationship" dual hegemony (synonyms: condom control, dual sovereignty). The other few specific goals or to activities

5. E. ATLANTIC COMMUNITY
   9. PAX ATLANTICA
   10. PRAGMATIC
   11. ATLANTIC UNION
   12. EUROPEAN UNION

These themes stress the potential for "integrating" U.S. and West European countries into a common front to the east European combination would have the same effect as would otherwise remain mere aspirational, necessary for international arms control.

The themes vary in their implied ship role of the United States, and in the international system. Pax Atque PAX AMERICANA, the theme of the short-run measures to prolong the struggle involves a real federation of sovereign "inward-looking." A European Union federation within Europe, and cooperation equal partners of Europe and North America.

8. H. EMPATHETIC COOPERATION
   20. EMPATHETIC PEACE-BUILDING
   21. PLURALISTIC TOLERATION
   22. WORLD-COMMUNITY BUILDING

These themes envisage the possible international order by the effect of security, hatred and many other problems of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The U.S. might inaugurate a special good will. The emphasis might be on reciprocal peaceableness, or on a letter oflen, "or on various measures to cultural pre-conditions for world peace." The theme cited here is to be distinguished from themes of altruistic reform. This community will be developed as long as it perseveres in their current efforts to policies that tend to be divisive. The social justice and world law versus catastrophism, but the prognosis is not so optimistic.

11. K. PROTO-ISOLATIONISM
   29. FORTRESS AMERICA
   30. INDIFFERENCE

These themes call for a renovation of international policies of isolation. There might be a reversion to indifference and distaste for the U.S. in the international community.

TO THE MEMBERS:

This is the Formal Notice of a Special General Meeting of the
Members of Hudson Institute to be held at the office of the Institute
in the Town of Cortlandt, New York at 10:00 a.m., on August 1, 1970,
called by the undersigned pursuant to Section 5.03 of the By-Laws.

The business to come before the Meeting is a group of proposed
amendments to the By-Laws. The purpose of these amendments is to raise
the number of Trustees of the Institute from the currently authorized
14 members to 15. These proposed changes are contained in Attachment A
to this Notice, together with the reasons for making the changes.

You will be able to participate fully in all the actions to be
taken in this meeting by filling in and returning the enclosed proxy
ballot; we do not anticipate that any of the members will attend this
meeting in person.

I have not enclosed any Institute news as I usually do in letters
of this kind. There are two reasons for this: first, the Annual Report
has just been mailed; and second, the Members Newsletter should be mailed
in a week or two.

We have recently completed mailing the Membership Certificates and
hope that they were well received. If you have not received yours, please
let us know.

We hope you return your proxy so that we may have a quorum.

Attachment A: Proposed By-Law Amendments

I. Discussion

The purpose of these proposed changes in the By-Laws is to raise the number of Trustees from 14 to 15. Members of the Board of Trustees have from time to time suggested individuals who, because of their interest in the Institute and its research program, might be of considerable help, either in internal and external matters affecting the Institute or who might be interested in assisting in fund raising for the Institute. At its meeting on May 15, 1970, the Board directed the management to propose to the Membership the enlarging of the Board of Trustees by one member. This member would be elected quadrennially by the Trustees.

These proposed changes would accomplish the above, i.e., raise the number of Trustees to 15, and fix the term of the new Trustee at four years. In addition, they provide for the method of nomination and eliminate some obsolete language concerning the terms of the present Trustees. The change in Section 2.04 has the effect of moving the last sentence to a more logical place in the By-Laws.

II. Proposed Amendments (New material underlined)

Amend Section 2.02 to read as follows:

SECTION 2.02. NUMBER AND TERM OF OFFICE OF TRUSTEES. The authorized number of Trustees of the Institute shall be **fifteen**. Two of the Trustees shall be the Director and the President, who shall serve as Officer Members of the Board of Trustees. **One Trustee shall be elected by the Board of Trustees.** The other twelve Trustees shall be elected as prescribed in Section 2.03, with three such Trustees being elected annually.* Except for Officer Trustees, whose terms of office are described in Section 4.04 and **except that the initial term of office of the Trustee to be elected by the Board of Trustees shall expire on December 31, 1974,** the term of office of all Trustees elected after July 1, 1970, shall be for four years from the expiration of the preceding term.* A Trustee whose term has expired shall continue to serve during his successor's term until his successor shall have been elected and shall qualify. Any Trustee elected pursuant to Section 2.05 to fill a vacancy on the Board of Trustees shall serve only for the term of office for which the vacancy exists.

*Sentence phrased and punctuated somewhat differently from current provision without change in meaning.

2

Amend Section 2.03 to read as follows:

SECTION 2.03. NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF TRUSTEES.

(a) Every four years, beginning in 1970, one Trustee shall be nominated by one or more Trustees and elected by the Board of Trustees.

(b) Each year one Trustee shall be elected by each class of members at its annual class meeting. However, no Trustee elected by a class of members shall have any responsibility to represent the particular class that elected him. Election in class meetings shall be by a majority vote of the members of the class present in person or by proxy at the annual class meetings. Where there are more than two nominees, each voter shall indicate on his ballot the order in which he prefers the nominees. If no nominee has a majority of the first choice votes, the nominee with the smallest number of first choice votes shall be eliminated and his votes redistributed according to the second choice indicated on such votes. Successive eliminations and redistributions shall be made until one nominee has a majority. Nominations for election to the Board of Trustees by any class may be made by the Class Committee or by any three members of that class.

(c) The Officer Members of the Board of Trustees shall be chosen as provided in Section 4.04 of these By-Laws, and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05, shall be the only employees of the Institute eligible to serve on the Board.

Amend Section 2.04 to read as follows:

SECTION 2.04. QUALIFICATION OF TRUSTEES. All Trustees shall be of full age, and at least one shall be a citizen of the United States and a resident of the State of New York. Trustees may, but need not be members of the Institute when elected. Any Trustee who is not a member shall be entitled to become either a Public Member or a Fellow Member, as he may choose.*

Dear Mr. Sjonander!

Thank you for your letter of September 27. I was pleased to hear from you again, and especially appreciated your getting in touch while you were in Washington.

I was interested to know what you are now doing, and am sorry that my extraordinarily heavy schedule did not permit us to get together.

Thank you again for writing and for your warm words about the President's China initiative.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

As a participant in one of your International Seminars at Harvard - in the year 1965 - I would like to send a greeting to you, when I these days am visiting Washington for the Group of Ten, IMF and IBRD meetings.

The last time we met was actually here in Washington. As you perhaps remember, you invited some of the participants that year to go to Washington after the Seminar had ended. We then visited Mr. George McBundy, who, if my memory is correct, had the same job in the Johnson administration as you now have in President Nixon's administration.

May I congratulate you for your Peking-trip, and the following new U.S. policy towards China!

What we are doing here these days - and I'm sure some of us will be engaged in it the coming months - are to try to find solutions on the different problems created by, what the Economist called ''President Nixon's domestic journey to China''. This ''domestic'' journey had also its tremendous effects on world affairs, as you know. My hope is that the outcome of this exercise will at the same time be a better balance of payments situation for the U.S., and a reformed, better monetary system.

With the best wishes,
