Reflections on the Enlightenment have been challenged by National Review in a recent philosophical justification of their ideology. It was Russell Kirk, in his book The Conservative Mind, who defined the foundation of post-war conservatism. This became the standard throughout the 20th century, uniting a range of thinkers from De Maistre to Edmund Burke. Contrasting with National Review’s critique on the modern right, their investment lies in 18th and 19th century philosophy. More specifically, they insist on absolving the revolutionaries that opposed monarchy and disciplinary elements within the theology as a whole.
