The artificial separation of politics and culture is nowhere more pronounced than in the discourse of foreign policy and international affairs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't believe in ideology in international relations.
There is no connection between the political ideas of our educated class and the deep places of the imagination.
Politically, foreign policy never matters until it matters, and then it matters a lot.
The level of discourse in this country is falling to a depth that cannot be sustained.
There is obviously a gap between the public's perception of the role of U.S. foreign policy and the elite's perception.
The politics of Europe is unimaginative and bureaucratic.
I'm concerned when certain movements or countries have been isolated from the international dialogue because then you have no way of influencing them.
War implies a lack of comprehension of mutual national interests; it means the undermining and even the end of culture.
Culture cannot be separated from politics. The arts, philosophy and metaphysics, religion and the sciences, constitute culture. Politics are the science or art of organizing our relationships to allow for the development of life in society.
Foreign policy is like human relations, only people know less about each other.
