... in practically any discussion it will be in principle possible to show that some of the policies one person advocates are inconsistent or irreconcilable with some other beliefs he holds.
This brings me to a fundamental difference in the general attitudes to moral problems which seems to be characteristic of the now common political positions. The conservative is generally happy to cling to his belief in absolute values. While I envy him, I cannot share his beliefs. It is the fate of the economist continually to encounter true conflicts of value; indeed, to analyse the manner in which such conflicts can be resolved is his professional task. The conflicts I have in mind here are not so much the obvious conflicts between the values held by different persons, or the gaps between their individual systems of values, but the conflicts and gaps within the system of values of any one person. However much we dislike it, we are again and again forced to recognise that there are no truly absolute values whatever. Not even human life itself. This again and again we are prepared to sacrifice, and must sacrifice, for some other higher values, even if it be only one life to save a large number of other lives.
(I cannot here consider the interesting point that, though we may never feel ennoscriptd to sacrifice a particular known human life, we constantly take decisions which we know will cause the death of some unknown person.)

عرب‌ها، این معنی را از ایرانیان اخذ کردند و گفتند: زندیق. و این کلمه را به عربی برگرداندند"[3].

زندقه، اتهامی بود که شخص، دشمن خود را برای سلب قدرت از او، به آن متهم می‌کرد. آنان واژه‌ی زندقه را در معانی بسیاری به کار می‌بردند"[4].

در کتب مشهور نیامده که پیامبر (ص) مرتد یا زندیقی را کُشته باشد"[5].

No chapter of history is steeped further in blood than the history of colonialism. Blood was shed uselessly and senselessly. Flourishing lands were laid waste; whole peoples destroyed and exterminated. All this can in no way be extenuated or justified. The dominion of Europeans in Africa and in important parts of Asia is absolute. It stands in the sharpest contrast to all the principles of liberalism and democracy, and there can be no doubt that we must strive for its abolition" (Ludwig von Mises, Liberalism In The Classical Tradition (3th edition), p.125, Translated by Ralph Raico, The Foundation for Economic Education&Cobden Press, 1985)

... the misery imposed upon the natives through colonization is one of the darkest chapters in the history of civilization..." (Karl Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies, vol. 2, p. 177, London: George Routledge and Sons, 1947)
