Books on the meaning of liberty as well as those by Dr. Birzer may be found in The Imaginative Conservative Bookstore. Click here for Part I of “The Meaning of Liberty.”
We hope you will join us in The Imaginative Conservative community. The Imaginative Conservative is an on-line journal for those who seek the True, the Good and the Beautiful. We address culture, liberal learning, politics, political economy, literature, the arts and the American Republic in the tradition of Russell Kirk, T.S. Eliot, Edmund Burke, Irving Babbitt, Paul Elmer More, Wilhelm Roepke, Robert Nisbet, M.E. Bradford, Eric Voegelin, Christopher Dawson and other leaders of Imaginative Conservatism.
We address a wide variety of major issues including: What is the essence of conservatism? What was the role of faith in the American Founding? Is liberal learning still possible in the modern academy? Should conservatives and libertarians be allies? What is the proper role for the American Republic in spreading ordered liberty to other cultures/nations?
We have a great appreciation for the thought of Russell Kirk, T.S. Eliot, Irving Babbitt and Christopher Dawson, among other imaginative conservatives. However, some of us look at the state of Western culture and the American Republic and see a huge dark cloud which seems ready to unleash a storm that may well wash away what we most treasure of our inherited ways. Others focus on the silver lining which may be found in the next generation of traditional conservatives who have been inspired by Dr. Kirk and his like.
We hope that The Imaginative Conservative answers T.S. Eliot’s call to “redeem the time, redeem the dream.”
As Oliver Twist asks, "please? more, sir?"
Thanks, Steve Twist, much appreciated. By the way, I've now noticed that I've worn this same jacket in everything Winston has filmed of me. And, I inherited it from a great Kansas friend (Bob Gottschalk, RIP). Still, I probably should get a new jacket.
Twist Masty sounds good too.
Dr. Birzer, I like the jacket. Conservatives do not fix things that are not broken. You look like a video star.
Brad,
You've seen my sharp, extensive wardrobe; I'll be happy to loan you something for the next one. One must always look presentable, you know; a man's appearance says a lot about the state of his soul.
