Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A natural outsider to the American political realm, Ryn puts forth a perspective that major conservative voices and think tanks often ignore, and analyzes where American post-World-War II intellectual Conservatism succeeds, why it struggles, and how the movement has evolved from its original roots to the recent rise in nationalism and the America First perspective. A long-time critic of the conservative movements attitude toward cultural advances, its obsession with party politics, and narrowly conceived policy issues, Ryns writing points to the overarching need for more rigorous intellectual discourse regarding traditional conservative values and beliefs. As a result, American Conservatism views a variety of topicslike history, philosophy, morality, culture, religion, and societythrough the lens of the modern conservative movement. While the book serves as a paean to conservative ideology and its champions, it also takes a bold approach in criticizing the weaknesses of Straussianism and neoconservatism, a stance that Ryn took long before other leaders of American post-world war II intellectual conservatism ever did.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - An impressive burst of creativity gave rise to a vigorous conservative intellectual movement in the United States after the Second World War. Yet, according to Claes Ryn, the great potential of the movement was not realized because of major flaws. The movement became preoccupied with politics to the neglect of academia, history, philosophy, religion, morality, the arts, and entertainment. In the 1980s when Ronald Reagan won great political victories the movement celebrated 'the triumph' of conservatism, but this reaction confirmed a superficial understanding of what most fundamentally shapes society. Developments in 'the culture' were actually radicalizing the American mind and imagination and eroding America's constitutional order. Conservatism also resisted intellectual discourse of the most rigorous kind and failed to make crucial distinctions. Paradoxically, it even made room for abstract universalist ideology, including Straussian anti-historicism and neoconservative imperialistic democratism. Ryn was a very early critic of all these weaknesses. The Failure of American Conservatism analyzes these weaknesses in depth. It explains the current disorientation of conservatism and why 'cancel culture' and Woke were predictable. Mixing new and previously published writing, the book bristles with provocative ideas. It sets forth its own strongly argued view of how to understand and address America's crisis. Seller Inventory # 9781645720409
