Book Description:
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist comes an “amazing” and “enthralling” (Booklist) new look at American conservatism that looks at how the Founders’ belief in “natural rights” created a great American political tradition that is now in danger.
George F. Will has tried for more than 40 years to figure out the principles of the Western political tradition and figure out how to apply them to American civic life. Today, nothing could be more critical. Every day in America, essential questions about the nature of man, rights, equality, and the rule of the majority are just below the surface.
The Founders’ ideas, written down in the Declaration of Independence and then put into action in the Constitution, gave the new republic a unique way to run its government. Their ideas about natural rights, limited government, religious freedom, and the goodness and dignity of people led to two hundred years of prosperity in the United States. Now, as Will shows, both progressives and parts of the Republican Party pose a threat to conservatism. America has become a government-run country, and harmful trends have taken over family life and higher education. Executive agencies that are only partly independent have almost no accountability. Congress hasn’t done its job of using its power to make laws. And the Constitution’s leash has been let go of by the executive branch.
The Founders have been losing the intellectual battle between the ideas of Founding Fathers like James Madison, who believed that people have natural rights that come before the government, and Woodrow Wilson, who thought that people should move forward. It’s time to change the political situation in America.
The Conservative Sensibility is a unique new book by one of the most famous political writers in the United States. It is long, intellectually exciting, and written with the erudite wit that has made Will so popular with millions of readers.
