Kirk defines “the conservative mind” by examining the thoughts of many brillant men, including Edmund Burke, James Fenimore Cooper, Alexis de Tocqueville, John Quincy Adams, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Benjamin Disraeli, Cardinal Newman, George Santayana, and T.S. Eliot. This book is guaranteed to provide an ample dose of inspiration toward conservatism as an ideology born of sound intellectual traditions.
