Conservatism: An Anthology of Social and Political Thought from David Hume to the Present This collection of essays offers a nuanced exploration of conservative social and political thought, tracing its development from the Enlightenment to the present day. By examining key works and thinkers, the book reveals the characteristic features of conservative argument that have endured across time and national borders. The anthology is structured chronologically, covering a range of topics including the critique of revolution, authority, inequality, and the limits of rationalism. Through its diverse selection of contributors, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of conservative thought and its ongoing relevance in contemporary debates. With an afterword on recurrent tensions and dilemmas of conservative thought, this volume provides a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in understanding the complexities of conservative ideology.
