Description
Conservatism challenges common perceptions as an ideology that prioritises cautious management of change and acknowledges forces beyond human volition. In this book, Edmund Neill explores how conservative thought has evolved from the French Revolution to the present day, examining responses to disruptions in traditional order across Britain, France, and the United States. Neill's analysis draws on examples from these countries to illustrate the complexities of conservatism, which he argues is better understood as an ideology that conceptualises human conduct as being partially dependent on factors beyond individual control. The book concludes with reflections on the challenges and opportunities presented by contemporary populism for conservative thought. This study is a valuable contribution to political theory and philosophy, offering insights into the nature of conservatism and its ongoing relevance in modern politics.
