Invitation - What is the Use of a Handbook of Western Conservative Thought?

While both liberalism and socialism have a well-developed history and canon of origins among the great ideologies, the same cannot be said of conservatism. Liberal democracy came to dominate in Western Europe in the post-1945 situation, communism-socialism played the same role in Eastern Europe.
Conservatism was therefore marginalised in both cultural contexts. For this reason, this volume is an essential contribution to the initiation of a professional process of conservative intellectual history writing and canonisation.
