Description

The Conservative Sensibility by George F. Will is a new examination of how the Founders' belief in natural rights created a great American political tradition.

For over four decades, George F. Will has sought to discern the principles of the Western political tradition and apply them to America's civic life. Today, the stakes are higher than ever, with vital questions about human nature, rights, equality, and majority rule bubbling just beneath the surface of daily events in America.

Will argues that conservatism is under threat from both progressives and elements within the Republican Party, and that it's time to reverse America's political fortunes. He explores how the Founders' vision, articulated in the Declaration of Independence and carried out in the Constitution, gave the new republic a framework for government unique in world history.
