philosophical conservatives.”\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe imagination that drives history begins with philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reason conservatism is receiving attention today is because of the historical experience that both the market utopia advocated by liberals and the utopia of equality advocated by radicals have brought only despair to humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since the author established the academic and ideological roots of conservatism in “The Spirit of Conservatism,” conservatism has become established as an ideology.\u003cbr\u003e Although there have been many books that have presented conservative political views, there has never been a book that has organized the philosophical roots of conservatism.\u003cbr\u003e If \"The Spirit of Conservatism\" contained the author's intellectual journey to the question, \"What is conservatism?\", this book was written to easily introduce the results to the general public.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn the eleven themes this book covers—religious faith, conscience, individual independence, family, community, just government, private property, power, education, permanence and change, and the republic—the author does not discuss the policies of the American Conservative Party.\u003cbr\u003e Through this theme, the author discusses what forms the foundation of our civilization and how true development and a vibrant life are possible at both the individual and societal levels.\u003cbr\u003e Following the author's argument, we see that conservatism is succeeding liberalism and socialism, which once held the throne of the historical imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

worth living, and to do so, they felt the need to establish some coherent system of thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You will discover a sound and proven conservatism firmly grounded in an understanding of history and human nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conservatism is an important social concept for anyone who longs for equal justice, individual freedom, and all the lovely old ways of humanity.\u003cbr\u003e Conservatism does not simply defend 'capitalism'.\u003cbr\u003e But true conservatives resolutely defend individual property rights and a free economy both for their own sake and as means to a greater end.\u003cbr\u003e These great purposes go beyond political and economic goals; they encompass human dignity, human character, human happiness, and even the relationship between humanity and God.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e--- p.16~17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The only reason we act mercifully and justly toward our fellow human beings is because we believe that God's will commands us to do so, to love one another.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The real thing that makes people love life is the fight itself.\u003cbr\u003e It is a struggle to bring order to chaos, a struggle to fight against evil and to yearn for righteousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The whole world suffered in proportion to the deterioration of its conscience.\u003cbr\u003e Jeremy Bentham tried to reduce the significance of conscience to nothing more than enlightened selfishness.\u003cbr\u003e Karl Marx declared that conscience only serves as a weapon for the exploited to incite guilt in the exploiters, while Sigmund Freud believed that conscience is nothing more than a guilt feeling that stems primarily from childhood misfortunes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The perfect individualist is hostile to religion, patriotism, inheritance, and the past. \u003cbr\u003eIn contrast, true conservatives regard religious faith, loyalty to the state, established rights in society, and the wisdom of their ancestors as friends, not enemies.\u003cbr\u003e (Omitted) Nevertheless, conservatives should be called individualists in that they believe in the excellence of the individual and the right of humans to be themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.49\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conservatives believe that the family is the natural foundation and core of a society, and that when the family declines, a dark collectivism will take its place.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, he believes that the family should remain the primary means of moral instruction, daily education, and a satisfactory economic life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.61\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The state continues to suck up more and more of the country's income. \u003cbr\u003eProduction loses its vitality, and the state takes over and manages 'core industries' one by one, but inefficiency, corruption, and waste continue to increase, ultimately leading to industry's reliance on forced labor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A human being without a community is little more than a solitary beast, as Aristotle said, or a crowd like the slaves of a state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.79\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jefferson called government a necessary evil...\u003cbr\u003e In the eyes of conservatives, government is a necessity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.83\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conservatives in times of chaos and disorder strive to uphold the rights of a fair government.\u003cbr\u003e A thoughtful conservative would turn to defending the individual against the state in institutions where political power is oppressively concentrated and strengthened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.83\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Representative government originated from the claim of property owners that they had a right to express their opinion to the political authorities when taxes were levied on their property. \u003cbr\u003eThis is the origin of popular representation throughout Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Some radical reformers argued that property was the root of all evil and that humanity would be happier if private property were abolished.\u003cbr\u003e There are radical reformers who have declared that privilege is the root of all human atrocities, and that if social privilege were abolished, humanity would be freed from envy and unjust ambition...\u003cbr\u003e But those beliefs were wrong.\u003cbr\u003e The reason the unscrupulous sought to acquire property was usually because of the power it offered, not because of the property itself.\u003cbr\u003e The greater reason they sought privilege was not for mere glamour or pretense, but rather for the power hidden within it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.114\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIf the only true purpose of life is the material improvement of the masses, and if this is achieved primarily through the establishment of conditions of equality, there is no reason to encourage strong private opinions or the development of a strong individual spirit.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conservatives do not oppose progress per se.\u003cbr\u003e However, I strongly doubt the claim that there is some mystical progress, some power of its own, that is necessarily at work in the world.\u003cbr\u003e A society that is progressive from one perspective is usually in decline from another.\u003cbr\u003e Conservatives know that any healthy society contains what Samuel Coleridge called the conflicting elements of permanence and progress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Thinking is a painful process, but only thinking can keep ideology in check.\u003cbr\u003e No dreamer has ever been refuted within his own logical system.\u003cbr\u003e The only people who can refute him are other dreamers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

by comparing liberals and radicals.\u003cbr\u003e The author denies conservatism as a force that blindly defends vested interests and rejects social development.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, the author knew that “human beings were called to earth to fight against evil, to preserve human nature and the heritage of civilization, and to struggle for righteousness.\u003cbr\u003e “This is the task given to conservatives regardless of the era,” he asserts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “There are many conservative forces in Korea, but there is no philosophical conservative,” said the late Professor Park Se-il, a leading conservative thinker.\u003cbr\u003e The fundamental limitations of Korean conservatism are found in philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e This is probably because without philosophy there is no historical imagination, and without historical imagination there is no inspired vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book was published in 1957, four years after The Spirit of Conservatism, to introduce the concepts of conservatism to young people in an easy-to-understand way.\u003cbr\u003e In reviving and publishing this book, which was published 62 years ago, historian Wilfred Mackley commented, “His insights on the family, the importance of private property, education, religion, and a dozen other subjects are still perfectly sound and almost prophetic.”
