Kirk and Nisbet

Lee Edwards looks back to a book whose thesis was that "America is not only the land of the free and the home of the brave but a place of ordered liberty, which made its freedom and prosperity possible" — Revisiting Russell Kirk’s The Roots of American Order.

Patrick Deneen looks back to a book that challenged the "worldview that regards all 'intermediary' or 'mediating' associations and communities as mere artifice and even as impositions upon our natural individual freedom" — Robert Nisbet’s Quest.
