Text of the page (random words):
the crusades may not be true in fact from the many popular notions about them let s pick four and see if they bear close examination the four myths to be dealt with are the following the crusades represented an unprovoked attack by western christians on the muslim world western christians went on crusade because their greed led them to plunder muslims in order to get rich crusaders were a cynical lot who did not really believe their own religious propaganda rather they had ulterior materialistic motives the crusades taught muslims to hate and attack christians and here is how they can be demystified a very useful read well worth the time posted by s r piccoli a 5 58 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest etichette history religion november 14 2014 are appeals to natural law and right reason still effective samuel gregg in crisis magazine the american founding was suffused with the language of virtue alongside this went a conviction on the part of many founders that there was a natural law that all humans could know hence someone such as alexander hamilton didn t hesitate to affirm in his farmer refuted that upon this law depend the natural rights of mankind to which hamilton immediately added the supreme being gave existence to man together with the means of preserving and beautifying that existence he endowed him with rational faculties by the help of which to discern and pursue such things it s not an easy reading but it is worth the effort and your time will be well spent posted by s r piccoli a 9 41 pm no

philosophy social media us politics june 23 2014 on being conservative asking too direct questions isn t probably the best way to begin an investigation of a political movement or doctrine such as socialism liberalism conservatism etc because direct interrogation requires simple and straightforward answers which is what is lacking in today s complicated and often confusing political and non political world therefore if you want to find out the truth about a certain political belief your question shouldn t sound like this what does it mean to be a liberal or a socialist etc this is even truer if we narrow the focus to the conservative movement as i did in my newest book being conservative from a to z an anthology and guide for busy conservative minded people as if that weren t enough things get even more complicated if we embrace the point of view of english philosopher michael oakeshott on being conservative my theme is not a creed or a doctrine but a disposition to be conservative is to be disposed to think and behave in certain manners it is to prefer certain kinds of conduct and certain conditions of human circumstances to others it is to be disposed to make certain kinds of choices however although debatable in many respects oakeshott s definition of conservatism as a disposition rather than a belief from general principles is food for thought firstly as a new kind of approach it s intellectually challenging and stimulating more concrete and therefore more understandable to a complex and multi faceted political philosophy secondly it is pedagogically useful because it seems to automatically provide an abundant amount of information on a very wide variety of topics that are directly or closely related to the main subject by the way that s the method used in this book by looking through its pages one can easily perceive the operational scheme which consists of implicitly asking and answering questions such as what does a conservative feel and think about this or that issue topic event michael oakeshott s above quoted statement is from a lecture delivered at swansea university u k in 1956 but a similar sentiment was echoed almost forty years later by russell kirk in the politics of prudence being neither a religion nor an ideology the body of opinion termed conservatism possesses no holy writ and no das kapital to provide dogmata so far as it is possible to determine what conservatives believe the first principles of the conservative persuasion are derived from what leading conservative writers and public men have professed during the past two centuries perhaps it would be well most of the time to use this word conservative as an adjective chiefly for there exists no model conservative and conservatism is the negation of ideology it is a state of mind a type of character a way of looking at the civil social order the attitude we call conservatism is sustained by a body of sentiments rather than by a system of ideological dogmata it is almost true that a conservative may be defined as a person who thinks himself such the conservative movement or body of opinion can accommodate a considerable diversity of views on a good many subjects there being no test act or thirty nine articles of the conservative creed in its own way being conservative from a to z reflects the above described approach since by default it refers to what important leading conservative thinkers and public men have professed during the past two centuries up until the present time no matter how many or how big the differences between the various thinkers on many issues might be ronald reagan and russell kirk that being said however as russell kirk himself points out there is a great line of demarcation in modern politics on one side of that line are those who think that the temporal order is the only order and in consequence material needs are the only needs on the other side are those who recognize an enduring moral order in the universe and a constant human nature as eric vogelin put it the fundamental source of order in history and society is rooted in experiences of transcendence in the attunement to divine reality in other words and as voegelin himself would put it the line of demarcation is between those who think that religious experience is the ground of political order and those who don t that is where we must start and as a matter of fact this is how russell kirk s famous list of ten conservative principles ten conservative principles in the politics of prudence begins first the conservative believes that there exists an enduring moral order that order is made for man and man is made for it human nature is a constant and moral truths are permanent the rest of the list widely regarded as perhaps the best general definition of conservative is interesting as well being conservative from a to z which could be described as an anthology of conservative analysis and insights on some key issues is for readers who wish to acquaint themselves with conservative political thought and to get a critical and comparative perspective on what passes for political social economic and cultural conservatism in their own time and place the volume contains an introduction 26 chapters and two appendixes each chapter corresponds to a letter of the alphabet which in turn corresponds to a specific issue e g a american revolution b bigotry from atheists c conservative attitude d deconstruction e education f family values i identity m man s nature etc the first appendix gives an overview of the kinds of conservatism the second appendix merely by way of example reproduces a famous speech by ronald reagan edmund burke the book is intended for both european and american readers it provides readings from european and american thinkers which besides may help to call attention to some of the peculiarities of american conservatives who for instance believe in progress even more than liberals do last but not least as the subtitle reads this volume wants to be a teaching tool and a guide for busy conservative minded people even though i must confess that i don t know what busy people whether conservative minded or not exactly means be it as it may despite its brevity and modesty i hope this book will lead readers to a greater appreciation of conservative values and principles after all as we all know the ways of the lord are mysterious posted by s r piccoli a 12 37 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest etichette
