New Life from Old Books

Harrison Pitt August 24, 2022

One of Hazony’s aims is to remind us that liberals and conservatives, while they teamed up against Communism to win the Cold War, do not share a political project. “Enlightenment liberalism,” Hazony argues, “is bereft of any interest in conserving anything. It is devoted entirely to freedom, and in particular to freedom from the past.”

The Imperial Ideal and Multipolarity:
Beyond the Rise and Fall of Empires

Carlos Perona Calvete July 18, 2022

The Abuses of Self-Entrepreneurship

David L. Dusenbury June 26, 2022

Alice von Hildebrand (1923-2022)

Josef Seifert May 8, 2022

Almost a century old, she still took a vivid interest in my philosophical works and in the events, joys, and sufferings of my life.

Daria Fedotova May 4, 2022

Western political philosophy focuses on inherent features of man, and so Europeans were able to build a system which recognises and respects them.

Postcards from the Frontline: Sir Roger Scruton as a Journalist

Mark Dooley May 3, 2022

For him, journalism was much more than conveying information, news, or opinion. It was an attempt to stir the imagination of the reader so that the ‘unfashionable opinion’ being expressed might become theirs.
