What is the hidden truth known to philosophers? That there is no God and there is no ultimate foundation for morality. As [Irving] Kristol suggests, it is necessary to keep this truth from the vulgar because such knowledge would only engender despair in them and lead to social breakdown.
The flaw is that this is argument by assumption and attribution of motive and it falls on that basis alone. Nor is Irving Kristol a conservative icon. He is a reformed liberal, and not sufficiently reformed in my humble view. On the other hand his wife, Gertrude Himmelfarb, wrote an utterly devastating book on Darwinism in 1959, which the article references, in which Darwin emerges a scientific non-entity. Himmelfarb and Bork are more of like mind as to the underlying issues and realities and they are very good friends (FWIW).
