Krason University Press of America, United States, 2017. Hardback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. This book examines the perspectives of American liberalism and conservatism in the new millennium--their general political and social philosophy and their positions in leading public issue areas--and evaluates them in light of Catholic social teaching. Before making that evaluation, it sets out the Church s teaching as it has been authoritatively set forth in documents from her Magisterium--especially the social encyclicals. It looks to recognized thinkers, writers, and spokesmen for each of the two ideologies to determine what their general philosophy is in six major, central areas: the role of the state; God, religion, and the natural law as the basis of the political order; the family; the thinking on freedom; the thinking about equality; and international life and ethics. Since American conservatism has been known for having different groupings or schools of thought within it--in the new millennium these are traditionalist conservatism, paleoconservatism, cultural or religious-based conservatism, neoconservatism, libertarian conservatism, and TEA party conservatism--the book examines leading representatives from each grouping and then determines what the consensus conservatism thinking is in each area. Then it looks to a recent platform of the Democratic... READ ONLINE [ 4.89 MB ] Reviews Certainly, this is actually the greatest job by any author.

Roger Scruton. First published inThe Meaning of Conservatism is now recognized as a major contribution to political thought, and the liveliest and most provocative modern statement of the traditional "paleo-conservative" position. Roger Scruton challenges those who would regard themselves as conservatives, and also their opponents. Conservatism, he argues, has little in common with liberalism, and is only tenuously related to the market economy, to monetarism, to free enterprise, or to capitalism. The Meaning of Conservatism involves neither hostility toward the state, nor the desire to limit the state's obligation toward the citizen. Its conceptions of society, law, and citizenship regard the individual not The Meaning of Conservatism the premise but as the conclusion of politics. At the same time it is fundamentally opposed to the ethic of social justice, to equality of station, opportunity, income, and achievement, and to the attempt to bring major institutions of society - such as schools and universities - under government control. Authority and Allegiance. Constitution and the State. The Conservative Attitude.

The familiar political equipoise was disturbed by the widening of the franchise and the emergence of radical new threats in the form of New Liberalism and Socialism. Some conservatives responded to these changes by emphasising the importance of individual liberty and the preservation of the existing social structure and institutions.

  • A Man for All Reasons: David Brudnoy Was a Real Compassionate Conservative by HARVEY A
    A man for all reasons: David Brudnoy was a real compassionate conservative BY HARVEY A. SILVERGLATE DAVID BRUDNOY’S untimely death, on December 9, spurred a massive number of public reminiscences by friends, acquaintances, listeners, and just about everyone who ever crossed his path. The talk-show host, author, columnist, movie critic, teacher, and man about town was the perfect everything, each seemed to say. He did so many things well, in so many different spheres, and yet remained so human, with a special talent for humor and friendship. It was also often said that Brudnoy, "even though a conservative," was beloved and respected by the rich and poor, the well-educated and barely educated, the white-collar and blue-collar alike. MEETING OF MINDS: the author, right, with long-time friend David Brudnoy, It’s true that Brudnoy’s anomalous political philosophy who could connect as readily with liberals as with fellow conservatives. deviated considerably from both liberal and conservative dogma. His support of gay marriage and his opposition to obscenity laws separated him from many conservatives, while his criticisms of the "nanny state" conflicted with liberal doctrine. (He laughed appreciatively whenever I, a devoted liberal civil libertarian, reminded him of Barney Frank’s pungent observation that some conservatives believe that life begins at conception and ends at birth.) Indeed, a month before his death, he and I agreed to do a series of joint columns for the Boston Phoenix taking aim at the current-day idiocies that pollute both conservative and liberal political life. Yet the common view of Brudnoy is that liberals and conservatives managed to tolerate him despite his politics, by virtue of his magnetic and endearing personal qualities.

  • Origins of Conservative Political Thought Dr. Jeffrey Dixon
    POLI 5303: Origins of Conservative Political Thought Section 115 (Summer 2018) 6 PM – 8:30 PM Mon/Wed Founder’s Hall 213 Dr. Jeffrey Dixon Office: Founder’s Hall 217A Email: [email protected] Phone: (254) 501-5871 (email preferred) Office Hours: 5:00-5:45 PM Mon/Wed, 4:35- 5:45 PM Tues/Thurs, or by appointment Catalog Description This course covers the philosophical origins of conservative political thought, focusing on its traditional, statist, and libertarian variants. Course Overview This course critically examines the foundations of modern conservative thought. At least three variants of conservatism can be traced back hundreds (if not thousands) of years. Traditionalist conservatism, which seeks to preserve and in some cases restore the wisdom of the past and to resist modernizing influences, can be traced back at least as far as Aristotle. Realist (or statist) conservatism focuses on the maintenance of security – law and order at home and a hard line on international affairs – and can be traced back at least as far as Kautilya. During the Enlightenment, a new variant of conservatism emerged – libertarian conservatism, which traces its roots to John Locke. We will critically evaluate these strands of conservatism and compare them to other modern conservative philosophies, often termed “neoconservatism.” As a general rule, most of your out-of-class time devoted to this course should be spent reading the material and taking notes or writing questions about what you read. Philosophy isn’t casual reading material; you actually have to be engaged and careful as you work your way through the texts.

    The European Trust Crisis and the Rise of Populism Supplementary Online Appendix Yann Algan Sergei Guriev Sciences Po and CEPR EBRD, Sciences Po and CEPR Elias Papaioannou Evgenia Passari London Business School and CEPR Université Paris-Dauphine Abstract This supplementary online appendix consists of three parts. First, we provide summary statistics, additional sensitivity checks and further evidence. Second, we provide details and sources on the data covering regional output and unemployment, trust, beliefs, attitudes and voting statistics. Third, we provide the classification of non-mainstream political parties’ political orientation (far-right, radical-left, populist, Eurosceptic and separatist) for all countries. 1 1. Summary Statistics, Additional Sensitivity Checks, and Further Evidence 1.1 Summary Statistics Appendix Table 1 reports the summary statistics at the individual level for all variables that we use from the ESS distinguishing between the pre-crisis period (2000-08) and the post-crisis period (2009-14). Panel A looks at all questions on general trust, trust in national and supranational institutions, party identification, ideological position on the left-right scale and beliefs on the European unification issue whereas in panel B we focus on attitudes to immigration. 1.2 Additional Sensitivity Checks Appendix Table 2 looks at the relationship between employment rates and voting for anti- establishment parties. Panel A reports panel OLS estimates with region fixed effects. Panel B reports difference-in-differences estimates. In contrast to Table 4, the specifications now include a dummy that takes on the value of one for core countries (Austria, France, Norway, Sweden) and zero for the periphery countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, Spain, Hungary, Ireland, Slovakia).

  • Whatever Happened to Compas
    1 "The mission at home is to help those who hurt, and make the vast potential of America available to every citizen. The mission abroad is to use our good heart and good conscience and not turn our back away when we see suffering." President George W Bush, 16th July 2003 Whatever happened to compassionate conservatism? 2 3 THE CENTRE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE Hawkstone Hall 1a Kennington Road London SE1 7QP 0207 620 1120 (t) www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk - THE CSJ ADVISORY COUNCIL Sir Sandy Bruce-Lockhart Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP (Chairman) Mark Florman Rt Hon William Hague MP Robert H Halfon Rt Hon Oliver Letwin MP David Willetts MP - The views expressed in this paper are the views of the individual author. The CSJ does not present corporate opinions in its publications. 4 Introduction Many have rightly observed that George W Bush has made more use of the American presidency in four years than most presidents manage in eight. It is, of course, his leadership of the war on terror that will attract the attention of presidential historians for years to come. Most contemporary assessments of the 43rd presidency – the most important of which will be given tomorrow by the American people – also focus on the campaigns in Afghanistan, Iraq and the pursuit of terrorist networks. This paper, however – Whatever happened to compassionate conservatism? – offers a short review of what George W Bush once described as his “governing philosophy”. The report’s author – Tim Montgomerie – is ideally placed to have written it. Over the last five years he has visited the USA eight times and has talked to more than one hundred people who have influenced, had to implement, or have been on the ‘receiving end’ of compassionate conservatism.

    Hoover Institution - Policy Review - Constitutional Conservatism Page 1 of 15 FEATURES: Constitutional Conservatism By Peter Berkowitz A way forward for a troubled political coalition February & March 2009 Table of Contents After their dismal performance in election 2008, conservatives are taking stock. As they examine the causes that have driven them into the political wilderness and as they explore paths out, they should also take heart. After all, election 2008 shows that our constitutional order is working as designed. The Constitution presupposes a responsive electorate, and respond the electorate did to the vivid memory of a spendthrift and feckless Republican Congress; a stalwart but frequently ineffectual Republican president; and a Republican presidential candidate who — for all his mastery of foreign affairs, extensive Washington experience, and honorable public service — proved incapable of crafting a coherent and compelling message. Indeed, while sorting out their errors and considering their options, conservatives of all stripes would be well advised to concentrate their attention on the constitutional order and the principles that undergird it, because conserving them should be their paramount political priority. Conservatives would do well to concentrate their attention on the constitutional order and the principles that undergird it. A constitutional conservatism puts liberty first and teaches the indispensableness of moderation in securing, preserving, and extending its blessings. The American Constitution that it seeks
