Burke’s Political Economy Reconsidered
Picture
Burke and the nation
Yuval Levin | Law & Liberty 
In Edmund Burke’s view of the world, the nation occupies a primary place. Burke’s thinking points toward the nation in four distinct ways, which can all help us think about what nationalism actually means in our own time. The first has to do with love of country and its place in politics; the second is about national character; the third is about the nation as the unit of analysis in world affairs; and the fourth is about the nation as the unit of analysis in domestic affairs.
Plato’s “Symposium”: The Drama and Trial of Eros
Top Ten Conservative Books, 1924-1954
By Bradley J. Birzer on Jul 22, 2019 10:00 pm
One of the single most important reasons the conservative movement became a movement is because it had writers of the highest caliber. They presented their ideas so convincingly and so pleasingly that even their most ardent critics had to take notice. Given my association with The Imaginative Conservative as well as with Hillsdale College, ...

The Spoon Elevation in One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
Emily Linz
The titular character of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, wrongfully convicted as a spy and sentenced to ten years in a 1950’s Soviet forced-labor camp, trudges through his daily life with a strange companion: “[Ivan Denisovich] Shukhov pulled his spoon out of his boot. His little baby. It had been […]
The Saving Nature of a Liberal Education
Ashley G. Miller
 Reading good books can help save your soul. A liberal education and Christianity share a mutual pursuit of the truth. With the torrential influx of electronic entertainment and the focus on STEM-based disciplines, people today are reading books less than ever before. This is one of the great crises of our time. The National Endowment […]

One, Holy, Catholic, and Neuter  Fr. Tim McCauley
The Church today suffers from a deficiency in her identity, lacking awareness of both her Marian and Petrine dimensions. I borrow these concepts from Hans Urs von Balthasar to explore the feminine and masculine aspects of the Church. In some ways we have become a neuter Church, lacking both Mary’s feminine receptivity toward Christ and […]

NOW IN BRITAIN, AS THEN IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA, THE TRUE INTELLECTUAL IS A DISSIDENT

The Daily Mail (UK)

The witch-hunting hysteria of Communist Prague has returned with a vengeance, not in Eastern Europe but in Britain, where open inquiry and the presumption of innocence have been, until this moment, the foundation of moral order and the guarantee of civil peace

All Is Not Lost: Reason, Faith, & Western Civilization
by Dwight LongeneckerSamuel Gregg's Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization is a brilliant meditation on the reasons for the rise of the West, more triumphantly known as "Christendom." This foundation of faith was undermined by the development of anti-Christian rationalism and the Enlightenment, culminating in the materialistic new religions of destruction. Dr. Gregg argues that for the West to survive, we must return to valuing its Christian foundation. But does history indicate that going back is really the way forward? [MORE]

Can Catholics be Minimalists?
Dusty Gates
In his brilliant Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman writes eloquently of the power of the Catholic Church to assimilate non-Christian, and even heretical, beliefs into her own Tradition. He writes about the Church as being able to stand firm among various philosophies, dogmas, and cultures as one who […]
The Intellectual Revolution That Made the Modern World
By Daniel McCarthy on Jul 19, 2019 10:00 pm
The Enlightenment may well be the end of an old story rather than the beginning of a new one. The philosophy of insatiable appetites changed the Christian-Aristotelian moral order into the modern world, but now that the change is just about complete, what purpose does its catalyst serve? Power, Pleasure, and Profit: Insatiable Appetites ...

World War I: War as Revolution
by Mark Malvasi  When World War I ended in disillusionment, with much of Europe in chaos and ruin, many Progressives blamed Woodrow Wilson. It was he, in the end, who betrayed the cause of democracy. Only after the war did John Dewey and other Progressives admit that the Allies had never championed democratic values at all, but had gone to war from selfish motives of national aggrandizement... [MORE]
