Description
Yoram Hazony's Conservatism: A Rediscovery challenges the long-held assumption that American conservatism is identical to "classical" liberalism. Instead, Hazony argues that a return to the empiricist, religious, and nationalist traditions of America and Britain is the best hope for Western democracy. This book explores the history of Anglo-American conservatism, from the Wars of the Roses to the present day, and provides a fresh theoretical foundation for conservatism. Hazony examines the rise and fall of Enlightenment liberalism after World War II and the debates between neoconservatives and national conservatives. He rejects the liberalism of Hayek, Strauss, and the "fusionists" of the 1960s, drawing on his own experience in the conservative movement, to argue that a revival of authentic Anglo-American conservatism is possible in the twenty-first century. By tracing the tradition of conservatism from its roots to its modern-day manifestations, Hazony offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the role of conservatism in Western democracy.
