Up From Liberalism

Book • 1959
Richard Weaver's "Up From Liberalism" chronicles his intellectual journey from a Marxist perspective to a conservative one.

Weaver argues for a return to a more organic and less individualistic understanding of society.

The book explores the dangers of abstract ideologies and the need for a more nuanced approach to political and social issues.
