Praised by President Richard Nixon as his favorite read for 1987,
The Search for Historical Meaning presents the postwar American
conservative movement against a background of ideas with which it
has only rarely been identified. This important book-updated with a
new preface-examines the influence of Hegelian concepts on the
historical attitudes and cultural judgments of prominent postwar
conservatives who, because of their concern with personal freedom
as a political and ontological value, denounced Hegel while
ascribing their own Hegelian ideas to less offensive sources.
Gottfried argues that the lack of a true historical perspective was
a serious defect in the postwar American conservative movement, and
it grew worse in the years that followed. Essential reading for
conservative thinkers, political philosophers, and American
political historians, The Search for Historical Meaning concludes
with an incisive examination of the American conservative movement
that has implications for today.
