Matthew Arnold: Enemy of Tradition
E CONNECT Matthew Arnold with a love of sweetness and light and the art of reading and with opposition to Gradgrinds and the commercial view of things; to harsh puritans, arid theorizers, mechanical systematizers; to everything that is crude, narrow and harsh.

By the middle of the nineteenth century a number of them had become seriously disturbed about the difficulty of combining popular government with efficient government.

Rationalism, Principles, and Politics
That politics should not be a matter either of impulse and whim or of pure ratiocination, hardly anyone will dispute. But there is no settled agreement on the precise role that reason should play in political decisions. Disagreement is aggravated because those who have written on the question usually intended to correct some prevalent error and in their fervor have often fostered other, equally pernicious, errors. As a result, discussion about th…
