dbpprop:abstract
  • Traditionalist conservatism, also known as "traditional conservatism," "traditionalism," and Burkean conservatism is an American political philosophy which emphasizes the need for the principles of natural law and transcendent moral order, tradition and custom, hierarchy and "Gemeinschaft" (organic society), and localism and regionalism. It may be said to have affinities with reactionary thought, and some adherents of this movement perhaps embrace that label, defying the stigma that has attached to it in Western culture since the Enlightenment. While traditionalism has existed in the West in various forms since the 18th century, modern traditionalist conservatism as an organized intellectual force only emerged after World War II. It was found in the writings of a group of U.S. university professors (labeled the "New Conservatives" by the popular press) who rejected the notions of individualism, liberalism, modernity, and social progress, promoted cultural and educational renewal, and revived interest in what T. S. Eliot referred to as "the permanent things" (those perennial truths which endure from age to age and those basic institutions that ground society such as the church, the family, the state, community life, etc.)
