Conservatism: A Rediscovery

In this podcast episode, the guest, Dr. Joram Hazony, discusses his book 'Conservatism: A Rediscovery'. He argues that in the face of the dominance of Enlightenment liberalism and the rise of woke neo-Marxism, there is a need to renew the conservative tradition in the English-speaking world. Hazony proposes that conservatism is based on the Bible, the common law, and a series of great political thinkers in Britain and America. He emphasizes the importance of restoring earlier religious and political traditions, rather than giving in to new ideologies. Hazony also addresses questions about the compatibility of conservatism with modern technology, globalization, and social injustices, claiming that conservatism provides a valuable alternative to progressive historicism and offers hope for the future.
