European Convention on Human Rights: Necessity or Mistake?

The founders of the Council of Europe saw the need for an international organisation dedicated to protecting human rights. But there were other options back then, and there surely are now.

A Study of the Collective Mind: A Review of <em>The Crowd</em>  by Gustave Le Bon
REVIEW

A Study of the Collective Mind: A Review of The Crowd by Gustave Le Bon

In The Crowd, Le Bon warns that when ideals are erased, cohesion is lost, individual characters weaken and develop excessive egoism, and, as their capacity for self-sufficiency diminishes, they become increasingly reliant on the government to direct them.

Cancel Culture: The Illusion of Justice
COMMENTARY

Cancel Culture: The Illusion of Justice

It is not activists’ sincere belief in the harm caused by ‘wrong words’ that is the problem, but their ill-founded hubris—their self-assumed role of holy avengers bringing the world to the ‘right side of history.’

The Vision of Old Sarum
Essay

The Vision of Old Sarum

It is no wonder that the countryside and small towns have always remained a bastion of traditionalism, naturally suspicious of progress and resistant to change.

The Roots of Sacrifice: Religion, Morality, and the Search for Transcendence
Essay

The Roots of Sacrifice: Religion, Morality, and the Search for Transcendence

Acceptable forms of sacrifice may change throughout time, but its essence remains. It is based on the deeply rooted sense of something more important than oneself: a deity, a family, a nation, or the entire world.

COMMENTARY

How Facts Cease To Be Solid

The establishment’s cowardice leaves no place for honesty. It is a safe, risk-averse, and timid strategy for those without guiding principles or will to follow them. As Mikhail Bulgakov once wrote, “cowardice is the most terrible of vices.”

Racism vs Sexism: How Islam Weaponised Inclusivity
COMMENTARY

Racism vs Sexism: How Islam Weaponised Inclusivity

Universalism is forced to coexist with diversity and inclusion; one has to agree that patriarchy, aristocracy and capitalism were evil unless they are not white. But deeper divides force progressives to either keep their eyes shut or risk becoming the oppressors.

Essay

Teaching Helplessness: The Problem with Modern Education

Children must not be shielded from struggle. This is, perhaps unexpectedly, among the few advantages of educating children in schools rather than at home, for there they have the chance to experience struggle as a part of life and to learn how to do it with courage and kindness.

The Magic of Old
REVIEW

The Magic of Old

The novel treats Britain’s past with the utmost respect it deserves; the regency world is presented to the reader in all its glory. Susanna Clarke does not betray its spirit by infusing it with modern culture, unlike so many other representations of the period.

Liberty by the Law: Person, State, and Boundaries of Enforcement
Essay

Liberty by the Law: Person, State, and Boundaries of Enforcement

Western political philosophy focuses on inherent features of man, and so Europeans were able to build a system which recognises and respects them. It is arguably the best system in the world, which is evidenced by the success of the countries that adopted it. It safeguards everything we value, and we should do everything to preserve it.

Bolingbroke’s Conservative Freedom
Essay

Bolingbroke’s Conservative Freedom

Bolingbroke is, perhaps, the most obvious figure to represent secular conservatism. He was a statesman, an historian, and a philosopher; he was also a libertine, and no stranger to intrigues he denounced.
