Location: WLH 207 (100 Wall Street)
Time: 4:30pm
Free and open to the public
All forms of conservatism are opposed to radical egalitarianism and socialism, but is conservatism also opposed to the principle of equality in every form? Does the sympathy conservatism have toward social class distinctions make it inherently hostile to democracy? What are conservative perspectives on human rights? This lecture will review the perspectives of the American Founders, Tocqueville, Russell Kirk, Willmoore Kendall, and Harry Jaffa.

Is “post-modern conservatism” an oxymoron? It depends—on the status of reason, the nature of history, the limits of language, and whether there is an objective basis for subjectivity!

Lecturer: Dr. Steven F. Hayward
Time: 4:30 PM
Location: WLH 207 (100 Wall Street)
Free and open to the public
Just as William James sought to outline categories of varying religious experience, this lecture looks at the various ways conservatism and conservative ideas come into view. A complete inventory of varying right-of-center expressions reveals considerable diversity—and disagreement!—between libertarians, traditionalists, religious, “neo”-conservatives, populist, and even “postmodern” conservatism. Can they all fit inside one big tent?

Edmund Burke, the First Modern Conservative
Thursday, September 27, 2018
Lecturer: Dr. Steven F. Hayward
Time: 4:30 PM
Location: WLH 116 (100 Wall Street)
The British statesman Edmund Burke is considered to be the first “modern” conservative, though in some respects he represents an Enlightenment-era adaptation of the true “first conservative,” Aristotle. Burke’s legacy attaches mostly to his strenuous reaction to the radicalism of the French Revolution, but he had a subtle outlook that, inter alia, supported the American Revolution, opposed slavery, criticized British colonial rule in India, supported the idea of partisan political parties, and had a theory of positive change that demonstrate he should not be thought of as a mere “reactionary” against all change.
