History Un-Whigged

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.

Review

Blame it on Civil Rights?

The reader should question Caldwell’s thesis that the U.S. ‘civil rights’ campaign in the 1960s was equivalent to opening a Pandora’s box of left-wing nonsense. But his insistence upon the decisive character of such “curtailments on freedom of association”—heavily influenced by John Stuart Mill’s harm principle—is much more problematic.

Review

Renaissance Men

Visitors to the June-October exhibition at the Met Museum in New York were spared the longer fate of the Medicis, who in both action and art came to resemble Europe’s other royal families.

Review

Thinkers Against Time

The book’s editor argues that the present era is not only unfavourable for conservatives but that we are witnessing the intentional discrediting of the classical and Christian traditions, and the deliberate cultivation of a prejudice against conservatism. Yet he does not conceal his hope that this collection should bring about a rehabilitation of conservative thinking.

An Autopsy for Liberal Imperialism?

Too often, human rights, both as jargon and as a type of imperial ideology, have been used as political justification for constant militarized efforts to supersede the barriers of national sovereignty.

Review

Paging Dr. Peterson

It is precisely because Peterson (for the most part) advocates for a restoration of the world via the embrace of traditional human notions of courage, order, and self-control, that he is so despised by the Left, which thrives on chaos, weakness, and intemperance.

Catholicism: The Heavyweight in the Ring

At a time when religion is routinely mocked as “anti-intellectual,” dismissed as prejudice or superstition or baseless opinion, the author of this book shows that, on the contrary, the true religion has the power of reason as well as the best minds of Western philosophy on its side.

The Repulse of the Hispanophobes

The “fake news” of Santamarta del Pozo’s book [Fake news del Imperio español] are the age-old “tricks and hoaxes” promulgated by the enemies of Spain throughout the centuries: those who have sought to paint the country in the worst possible light. This was not done out of humanitarianism. It was done because Spain’s rivals wanted Spanish gold, political power, and colonies.

Review

Is It Fair to Call It ‘Climate Hysteria?’

We need to return to a healthy respect for reality, reason, and truth, and once again submit our politics, our science, our desire for justice—and our pursuit of political and social goods—to reality, reason, and truth.

Burgundy: Coteaux Bourguignons

Sipping a Burgundy (in the literal, unpoetic, and therefore impoverished sense of the term) got me thinking about the importance of terroir.
