Titoli in Filosofia

For 200 years, conservatism has defied its reputation as a backward-looking creed by confronting and adapting to liberal modernity. By doing so, the right has won long periods of power and effectively become the dominant tradition in politics. Yet, despite their success, conservatives have continued to fight with each other about how far to compromise with liberalism and democracy - or which values to defend and how. In Conservatism, Edmund Fawcett provides a gripping account of this conflicted history, clarifies key ideas, and illuminates quarrels within the right today.

"Man hält die Heimat für den relativ permanenten, die Wohnung für den auswechselbaren, übersiedelbaren Standort. Das Gegenteil ist richtig: Man kann die Heimat auswechseln oder keine haben, aber man muß immer, gleichgültig wo, wohnen. Der Mensch kann überall wohnen: unter den Pariser Brücken, in Zigeunerkarawanen, in den Hütten der Paulistaner Favelas und sogar in Auschwitz. Er ist wie die Ratte - kosmopolitisch... Wer aus der Heimat vertrieben wird (oder den Mut aufbringt, von dort zu fliehen), der leidet."

In this sweeping account of irrationality from antiquity to today - from the fifth-century BC murder of Hippasus for revealing the existence of irrational numbers to the rise of Twitter mobs and the election of Donald Trump - Justin Smith says the evidence suggests the opposite.
