78 "In Europe at the start of the twentieth century, most people
accepted the authority of morality.... [Then] reflective Europeans
were also able to believe in moral progress, and to see human
viciousness and barbarism as in retreat. At the end of the century,
it is hard to be confident either about the moral law or about moral
progress": Jonathon Glover, _Humanity: A Moral History of the
Twentieth Century_ (London: Jonathan Cape, 1999), p. 1. Glover's
study concentrates particularly on the rise and influence of
twentieth century ideologies.
