Summary
Russell Kirk: The Conservative Spirit
From Berk to Eliot
This is a classic study of modern conservatism in theory and political practice, which has been indispensable in the study of political thought from Berk to Eliot for decades. The study is limited to Anglo-Saxon conservatism, which it traces through thought and political experience from the end of the eighteenth to the end of the twentieth century. Reading this book brings the audience closer to the values of autonomy, pluralism, the authenticity of life forms and the world of virtues, which were lost during the last two centuries in the Enlightenment's disappearance of differences before the absolute power of the mind. But this book also shows the transepochal vitality of the conservative spirit, which emerges from the background of history every time the modern world falls into the impasse of internal irrationalism.
