This work outlines a brief history of conservatism from 800 BC to
present day, and offers insight and suggestions for a needed
cultural restoration. Restoring History is timely and holds the
seeds that could return Western culture back to health. The main
thesis of the work is that reconciliation and philosophical
interaction between conservatism's five historical forms can
restore an intellectually vigorous, culturally fruitful, morally
coherent and politically potent society. Current political and
cultural arenas provide a good backdrop to consider the vital role
of conservatism in Western history. Conservative ideals provided a
crucial function in the Western civilization's rise to become the
world premiere in literature, philosophy, art, music, architecture,
economics, commerce, exploration, science, technology, war and
politics. Western culture is often equated with European
civilization and broadly refers to a heritage of social norms,
ethics, traditions, religious beliefs, political systems, and
specific artifacts and technologies. Conservative principles and
values have consistently produced beneficial effects on culture. In
contrast, liberalism has often been destructive to Western culture,
propagating false views about the nature of man, society,
government and the cosmos - and only produces a mixed blessing.
There is an illusion in the land that liberalism is an old
tradition, and that conservatism arose in the late 1940's as a
reactionary force. In fact, four of the five types of conservatism
were very old when liberalism first appeared during the 18th
century, after the West had already established dominance.
