Abstract
Because he has been reared within a family, disciplined in school and shaped by the competitive and cooperative world within which he pursues his self-chosen projects, he is no less constrained by the demands of self-respect, and he is thereby induced to take initiative and assume responsibility for the welfare of others. Since the 1960s, thanks to "the democratic project", we have lived to an ever increasing extent in a world constituted by what he calls "impulse", passion liberated from restraints and constraints, unchastened and utterly irresponsible.
