Part 2
Symphony No 4, in B flat major
'A Civilised Society is based on the belief that different individuals will wish to make different decisions about their pattern of behaviour and that Provided this doesn'restrict the freedom of others they should be allowed to do so, within the framework of understanding and tolerance.'
(Roy Jenkins 1969)
Society has now fairly got the better of individuality; and the danger which threatens human nature is not the excess, but the deficiency, of personal impulses and preferences.' (John Stuart Mill 1859) Are the changes in social legislation and social behaviour which have taken place in recent years really the marks of greater civilisation? Do they add to the quality of life in these islands? And in the coming years how many of the existing restraints on social behaviour will it be thought desirable or possible to discard?
BERNARD LEVIN discusses these issues at length with JOHN SPARROW, Warden of All Souls College, Oxford MICHAEL FOOT, MP
