Description:
Russell Kirk authored thirty-two books on political theory, the history of ideas, education, cultural criticism, and ghostly fiction. He is remembered as one of our age’s foremost men of letters.
Today, Kirk’s reputation continues as one of the most significant thinkers of the twentieth century and as the figure who defined and developed a living conservative intellectual tradition. Conservatism, Kirk showed, is a disposition to conserve and renew the enduring moral and social order of Western and American civilization.
Today, however, the intellectual movement that Kirk helped catalyze is deeply divided, so that no one seems able to agree about what conservatism means. Therefore, this webinar helps clarify the meaning of the word “conservative” by unpacking the “Ten Conservative Principles” outlined by Russell Kirk in The Politics of Prudence (1993).
