Ep. 37 - The Conservative Sensibility

  • サマリー

  • In this episode I discuss parts of the book The Conservative Sensibility by the American writer George Will. I wanted to branch out a little and read a book that is infused with Conservative philosophy to chew on. I especially was interested in Conservative philosophy that has no time for the modern manifestation of the alt right and QANON thinking; as well as a philosophy that self identifies as not needing theism. George Will manages to eschew both of those liabilities. In the book I talk about:

    - The universality of human nature

    - Natural Rights at the heart of the American founding - and the political philosophical backdrop to American life today is whether governments job is to secure rights for its citizens (Conservatism) or grant rights to its citizens (Progressivism)

    - Natural Rights as a heuristic

    - The three liberalisms in American political history

    - Ignorance as an inevitable element is mass centralization

    - Ingratitude as a function of intellectuals and bureaucrats

    - Conservatism without Theism

    - Living a flourishing life
