Issue 22

Issue 22 opens with an editorial, “The Task of the Modern Right”:

[R]egardless of how one conceives of conservatism and the Right, there is no future for Europe without a populist-nationalist awakening, firm opposition to the global managerial elites, and respect for identitarian impulses—all rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Today’s Right need not agree on everything; but it has to be willing to disrupt sclerotic processes and reopen the intermediary channels of communication and engagement long suppressed by the administrative, managerial, and therapeutic state.

The issue features Karl-Peter Schwarz on “Putin’s War”; David Martin Jones: “Geopolitics and the Philosophy of Putinism”; and Dieter Stein on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: “The Weak Giant.”

Jaime Nogueira Pinto interviews Viktor Orbán; Kurt Hofer speaks to VOX’s Santiago Abascal; and David Engels discusses Academia Christiana with Victor Aubert.

Essays include Gonzalo Cordero: “Boric’s Labyrinth”; Nicolaus Fest: “Historians’ Dispute”; Jaime Nogueira Pinto: “What is the Right?” Wolfgang Fenske looks back at 10 years of the Library of Conservatism; Sebastian Morello on “The Jaguar of Ecuador: García Moreno”; and Mark Dooley‘s “Sir Roger Scruton as Journalist.”

Reviews include Theo Howard on Peter Kwasniewski’s From Benedict’s Peace to Francis’s War; Paul du Quenoy on Michael Knox Beran’s WASPS; Sebastian Morello writes about Tynt Meadow Trappist ale; and Wolfgang Fenske provides tasting notes for Balvenie 12yo.

It also includes tributes to philosopher Alice von Hildebrand, conservative humorist P.J. O’Rourke, Brazilian philosopher Olavo de Carvalho, and a commemoration of the birth of the Italian man of letters, Eugenio Corti.
