"Perfunctory" is a word in ENGLISH
Done merely to get rid of a duty; performed
mechanically and as a thing of rote; done in a careless and superficial
manner; characterized by indifference; as, perfunctory admonitions.
Hence: Mechanical; indifferent; listless; careless.
The values we rightly associate with the modern age - the "liberty, equality, and fraternity" of the French revolution - are all endangered today not by the dead hand of tradition but by modernity itself, and they can be salvaged only by moving beyond it.
