Reviews of the first edition: "A spirited polemic, which will give
a lot of amusement and, perhaps more important, cause a lot of
annoyance. It will never be possible to take conservative claims
about tradition, moderation, constitutionality or limited
government wholly seriously ever again." -- Rodney Barker,
Tribune"It offers a powerful critique of the major beliefs of
modern Conservatism, and shows how much a rigorous philosopher can
contribute to understanding the fashionable but deeply ruinous
absurdities of his times." -- Bhikhu Parekh, New Statesman"The
whole book must be read. Indeed, only the final page, like a good
detective story, brings with it the full philosophical discovery,
and one much too rich to be exposed to impatient disclosure." --
Michael Foot, the Observer"The work of a virulent partisan." --
Enoch Powell, the IndependentIn a new edition of this text whose
wit does not conceal its serious intent, Britain's pre-eminent
progressive political philosopher explores the distinctions of
conservatism, seeking the fundamental principle that unifies it and
is its rationale and foundation.He brings the resources of analytic
philosophy to bear on such political parties as the Republican
party in the United States and the Conservative Party and now also
the New Labour party in Britain.He examines the thinkers of this
tradition, From Edmund Burke and Adam Smith to Michael Oakeshott
and Robert Nozick. He does not give up his search for the rationale
of conservatism. He finds it. It is not an expected one.
