Conservative and liberal political impulses have contended
throughout the history of the U.S. although there are no major
Conservative or Liberal parties in the U.S. Instead, the terms
signify general inclinations and prejudices encountered to some
degree within all major political parties. In terms of contemporary
politics, it is reasonably clear that liberalism and conservatism
are meaningful terms. But the dichotomy is subject to much
confusion when projected against a wider historical background.
Francis Wilson's lectures on conservatism represent a genuinely
philosophical approach. He generalizes upon the content of
conservative thought without reducing the result to a mere
psychological bent or disposition. Francis Wilson's volume was an
expression of intellectual renewal of conservative ideas in the
post-World War Two period. Initially published in 1951, it gave
expression to the body of common belief that then and now
constitutes the essence of conservatism. Lucid and temperate, he
outlines the principles to which conservatives subscribe and how
they have changed. Published in the Library of Conservative Thought
series, "The Case for Conservatism "has continuing relevance to
those" "who seek to understand the intellectual roots of the
contemporary revival of conservative public policies.
