There is widespread discontent today with the state of English political theory. This does not seem to have been so a generation ago. In 1915, Ernest Barker certainly revealed uneasiness about some intellectual tendencies of the time, but his overriding belief was that the new psychology and the new awareness of the personality of groups within society would enrich thinking in the long run. Ten years later, Lewis Rockow was distinctly optimistic at the end of his Contemporary English Political Thought. Having surveyed the first quarter of this century, he was impressed by "the richness of the contemporary mind" and the boldness of its political speculation. How different is the self-judgment of our own day. "In the present generation," declared Professor Catlin in 1952, "England is in a poorer way as a fount of political ideas than she has been for centuries." There were only a few men—Laski, Barker, Oakeshott, E. H. Carr—whom he would put in a high category, while apart from them he went on to say, "a drear darkness has fallen on British political theory which was so bright." A little later, and speaking of the world in general rather than of England alone, Professor Cobban lamented "a general tendency to cease thinking about society in terms of political theory." He could find no original thought since the eighteenth century and concluded that the idea of democracy had become a mere shibboleth—and not even a serviceable one, since all camps used it. He felt that the study of politics had taken a wrong turn, being corrupted by a neglect of the moral element, by an indifference to the practical problems besetting men, and by a deep pessimism about the possibility of resolving the dilemma between "moral man and immoral society." Eric Voegelin seems at first to strike a more cheerful note when he speaks of "the revival, not to say the outburst, of political philosophy at Oxford in recent years," but his article is critical of some of its tendencies and even goes so far at one point as to refer to its "distressing state."
