We direct your attention to a recent post on the Imaginative Conservative Blog where Brad Birzer has collected a few forgotten items from the Kirk Center archives and elsewhere on the relationship of Russell Kirk and Leo Strauss. It was more amicable than is generally recognized; in 1963 Kirk pronounced Strauss “on the side of the angels.” We look forward to further research in this area.
Here, Kirk references with approval MacIntryre's argument from "After Virtue" on the need for "communities of character."
At the passing of the great Alasdair MacIntyre, one would do well to return to Russell Kirk' s classic essay "Civilization without Religion?" https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2011/04/russell-kirk-civilization-without-religion.html
