Devalued rather than revalued values drive the region’s fragmentation into tyranny
Evidence
This is a time when we see not a revaluation of values, as Nietzsche called it, but a devaluation of values, in which the old values are discredited and the new values offered in their place are neither understood nor accepted. The result is a social fragmentation, often a flight from reality, and a series of political changes culminating sooner rather than later in the charac teristic combination of tyranny and terror that has marked so many of the gov ernments of the region. — Bernard Lewis, From Babel to Dragomans, 1632 (
