Dalrymple Watch

City Journal has the following new essays by Theodore Dalrymple:From the essay on Ibsen:

The elevation of emotion over principle, of inclination over duty, of rights over responsibilities, of ego over the claims of others; the impatience with boundaries and the promotion of the self as the measure of all things: what could be more modern or gratifying to our current sensibility?
