                                       %EVIL IDEALS 850312

     An  ideal  is an evil ideal if it  leads  intelligent
people  of good will to persistently behave in ways  which
undermine     personal    and   communal    integrity---by
undermining mutual listening dialogue and understanding.

     It  is not easy to understand this conception of  the
character of evil ideals, because so many highly respected
ideals  are  in  practice evil ideals;  ideals  which  are
respected  by highly respected intelligent people of  good
will.    The  fact is that many such people occasion  much
alienation   by   persistently  being  guided   by   their
dedication to their ideals.   It is not easy to help  them
assess their ideals in terms of more transcendent ideals.

     An example of an evil ideal is the ideal that college
and  university  professors should be prepared  for  their
professorial  instructional responsibilities  by  carrying
out sophisticated research projects unrelated to  students
learning  difficulties.   Many intelligent  professors  of
good  will  are  occasioning  much  alienation  by   their
uncritical   dedication to this ideal---to the   exclusion
of  any  dedication  to helping prepare future  professors
to   sympathetically    help   college   and    university
students overcome their learning difficulties.
