Buckley is \"the master\" to whom conservatives owe an eternal debt of gratitude for expunging from their ranks the dregs--the racists, anti-Semites and extremists of all sorts--that threatened the movement's social respectability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis account, however, isn't \u003cem\u003ehistory \u003c\/em\u003eat all. It is ideology or politics taking refuge behind the value-neutral guise of history. In reality, the conservative movement has long since been a predominantly \u003cem\u003eneoconservative \u003c\/em\u003emovement. While there is plenty of historical, sociological, and polemical literature on neoconservatism, there is relatively little that treats it \u003cem\u003ephilosophically. \u003c\/em\u003eYet, as Misguided Guardians shows, neoconservatism \u003cem\u003eis \u003c\/em\u003eindeed a distinctive philosophical theory inasmuch as it consists of conceptions of knowledge, ethics, and the state that differ in kind from those underlying traditional conservatism. Moreover, neoconservatism is an expression of \u003cem\u003eRationalism, \u003c\/em\u003eexactly that orientation against which conservatives have been railing since at least the time of Burke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Kerwick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194107149X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941071496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stairway Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Jack Kerwick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983901131007,"sku":"9781941071496","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b9860ee-7d63-42d3-97f7-cc101912eff8.jpg?v=1683269370","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/misguided-guardians-jack-kerwick-9781941071496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
