Politics Have Always Covered Two Distinct Kinds Of Problems: Problems Of Administrative Routine, And Those That May Be Called 'questions Of The Moment.' A Question Of The Moment Is, Indeed, A Substitute For Some Notion, Such As The Idea Of God, Or Hereditary Monarchy, Or National Glory, That Has Hitherto Acted As A Symbol Of Human Co-ordination. It Provides No New Positive Certainty To Replace The Discredited Certainty, But Is What The Name Implies: The Raising Of A Question Which The Old Certainty No Longer Answers.
