Bolingbroke And Progressive Conservatism

""Bolingbroke and Progressive Conservatism"" is a book written by F. J. C. Hearnshaw that explores the political philosophy of Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke, an 18th-century British statesman and political theorist. The book argues that Bolingbroke's ideas on progressive conservatism, which emphasized the importance of tradition and stability while also advocating for social and political reform, have enduring relevance for contemporary conservative thought. Hearnshaw delves into Bolingbroke's writings on subjects such as the separation of powers, the role of religion in politics, and the need for a strong national identity, and shows how these ideas can inform modern conservative thinking on issues such as immigration, multiculturalism, and democratic governance. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of conservative thought and its relevance to contemporary politics.THIS 48 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Some Great Political Idealists of the Christian Era, by F.
