Death’s Fork in the Road

Kurt Hofer February 2, 2023

In a span of a few weeks, I was confronted with two distinct views on death and two distinct ways of dying. In one was the illusion of self-mastery; in the other, the radical surrender of self.

Occasional Dialogues: Claire Rydell Arcenas interviewed by Kurt Hofer

Kurt Hofer January 6, 2023

In this episode of our ‘Occasional Dialogues’ series, Kurt Hofer interviews historian Claire Rydell Arcenas, the author of America’s Philosopher: John Locke in American Intellectual Life. They discuss the impetus behind writing the book, Locke’s place in contemporary political life, and the ‘New Right’ critiques of Locke.

In the Cathedral

Kurt Hofer October 25, 2022

All Cathedrals, I have realized, have a smell, a sound, and a feel that binds them to one another; it’s a congruity of design that unites believers wherever they go.

The Fight for the New Right

Kurt Hofer October 13, 2022

A constant undercurrent of the conference was the oscillation between equally eloquent articulations of despair at the present and an intrinsically Christian hope for the future.

Devouring Our Young: The West’s Chronos Complex and the Rise of the New Right

Kurt Hofer September 29, 2022

The victory this week of Italy’s Giorgia Meloni fits into this story as well. Her words—and perhaps, in the future, by the grace of God, her party’s actions—are nothing less than a full-throated disavowal of the West’s Chronos Complex.

Towards A New Fusionism:
Postliberals, Claremonsters, and American Conservative Consensus

Kurt Hofer July 3, 2022

Can the lived conservatism of the Postliberals find common ground—and common political cause—with the universalist notions of natural right, justice and equality espoused by the Claremont School? On this question, I believe, hinges the fate of a new conservative fusionism updated to meet the challenges of our time.

The Problem of Christian Safetyism

Kurt Hofer June 25, 2022

Undeterred by his trials and compelled by curiosity, the Apostle Paul wears no mask; he mutes and stifles no truth that might advance the Gospel—no matter the cost.

A New Framework for Freedom

Kurt Hofer May 22, 2022

If a new framework for freedom is to emerge in the West, it must be recognizable. The stories of anchored freedom must be told, and they must be disseminated with the same adamance in mass culture, whenever and wherever possible, as the Boomer myth of freedom.

Can Manliness Save the West? An Interview with Professor Ted McAllister

Kurt Hofer April 4, 2022

“Fear of risk, an exaggerated love of safety or health, are pathologies that threaten the very virtues necessary for civilizational and cultural survival”—Ted McAllister

A Spanish View of Liberalism: An Interview with Francisco José Contreras

Kurt Hofer January 8, 2022

Must liberalism be leveled completely by the New Right, so that a new conservative edifice may emerge from its ruins? Or must the meaning of liberalism be reclaimed for the Right and from the historiographical distortions of the progressive Left? Haivry and Hazony, Deneen, and Legutko appear to answer in the affirmative. However, a compelling alternate view is offered by Spanish philosophy professor and politician Francisco José Contreras.
