Hegel: The Revolutionary Afterlife, Part II

Harrison Pitt February 8, 2023

The revolutionary afterlife of Hegel’s political thought is proof of the power of a philosophical system, once seized by less cautious hands, to outpace its original creator.

Freedoms Against Liberté: The Need for Silver Frames

Harrison Pitt November 28, 2022

Without the safeguards of law, freedom would be no blessing. Our societies would be Hobbesian in the true sense: liberty would give way to nightmarish anarchy.

Till the King Enjoys His Own Again

Michael Warren Davis November 10, 2022

Every revolution begins with just one man. So does every counter-revolution. All of our many foes have taken that lesson to heart. We have not. And unless we demand total victory, as they do, all we’ll get is more lumps.

The World Shifting Beneath Our Feet: An Interview with N.S. Lyons

Jonathon Van Maren May 26, 2022

“I think conspiracy theories are proliferating because we can all feel the ground shifting under our feet but have no easy way to understand and make sense of that feeling of chaos.”—N.S. Lyons

Romanticising Rebellion

Daria Fedotova March 10, 2022

Fictional rebellions invite us to side with the underdog. The story conveniently ends with their victory, but leaves no ruined lives and no unhealable scars—nothing to contradict the idea of a newly found paradise.

England’s Conservatism and the Global Revolution

Sebastian Morello January 31, 2022

I do not like revolutions in any case, but I especially dislike the proposals of the Davos Jacobins.

History Un-Whigged

Harrison Pitt January 26, 2022

Roberts does not refrain from criticising George, both for his political missteps and for his tendency to be slow in acknowledging them. But overall, Roberts has painted a masterful portrait of a patriotic, diligent and cultivated monarch who was periodically struck down by mental illness, worst of all during the tragic last decade of his life.

The Impossible French Conservatism

Hélène de Lauzun January 3, 2022

The Right in France finds its birth in the original trauma of the French Revolution. It is on the side of those who lost, of a history that will never be written again. The French Revolution was also a period of intense persecution of the Catholic religion, and a painful synthesis took place in people’s minds: a fallen monarchy united to the martyred faith. The right-wing remained affixed to this double cause to defend.

Dusk of the Enlightenment

Daria Fedotova December 26, 2021

The Enlightenment had its fair share of such confusion. It was a time of truly scientific pursuits; of Voltaire’s brave and sharp remarks; of Hume’s observant rationality. But it also produced Rousseau, whose romantic view of freedom inspired generations of rebels. They thought that only monarchs and nobles could be oppressive, for they had not yet seen tyranny of the people.
