Description:
This book is a balanced and rigorous comparative study of the new conservative political thought in Britain and America. Robert Devigne thoroughly investigates conservatism's intellectual roots and analyzes in particular the work of the British political philosopher Michael Oakeshott, the American Leo Strauss, and their followers, exploring how conservative thought is responding to the challenge of postmodernism and to the pervasive loss of civil traditions, morality, and authority in contemporary societies.
