Kirk was convinced that in our age, the unimagined life is not worth living for a human being. He labored to reform our sensibilities, so that we could see ourselves both for what we are and for what we have become. He labored to make available an intellectual tradition of dissent from the modern age. He labored to release our hearts from the bondage of ideology.
Celebrate Russell Kirk's birthday (today) with a rich dessert, a ghostly tale, and a contribution to The University Bookman:
I can't praise @ubookman highly enough. If it's not a part of your reading life, it should be.
Should you have the ability, they are very much deserving of your support. I hope you'll consider donating to their Kirktober fundraiser, as I have done.
