  • curprev 01:5101:51, 8 July 2024Biohistorian15 talk contribs 11,905 bytes +30 Much like "Philosophical anthropology" before: a field that is (de facto) VERY conservative for reasons I am not entirely sure about

It is hard to think of a more central concept in conservative thought. It is the kernel upon which Aristotle, Aquinas, and the various Catholic reactionaries build their thought. Liberalism has this concept as well, but how liberalism transforms the meaning of this is important. Liberalism doesn't own the idea. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

  • curprev 00:0000:00, 19 June 2024GreenLoeb talk contribs 12,066 bytes +173 Undid revision 1229838633 by GreenLoeb (talk) Self-revert of the Mishima edit for now, as I can see an argument though I'm not wholly convinced. I do think we should hash out at some point where to draw the line between conservatism and reaction/extreme right, for purposes of inclusion in this template. Tag: Undo

I like his novels, but I think with a figure like him we are really blurring the lines between conservatism and straightforward reactionary modernism. I agree with the desire to make this list more global, but there must be a better representative of Japan. Also, not sure to what extent he qualifies as an intellectual (his novels are not quite the same in terms of philosophical exploration as, say, Dostoevsky, who I do think belongs here) Tag: Reverted
  • curprev 23:4223:42, 18 June 2024GreenLoeb talk contribsm 12,066 bytes +46 Readd Mansfield, who is a major thinker. I can see the argument for excluding him because of notability for a non-US template, but he is certainly more relevant to worldwide conservatism as a thinker than Hitchens (who is primarily a journalist) or Sowell (whose international relevance is dubious, and whose books lack philosophic heft)
  • curprev 23:2923:29, 18 June 2024Trakking talk contribs 12,020 bytes +33 addition of four prominent intellectuals and removal of another four who, although brilliant, are not as notable as the other ones on the list

  • curprev 19:5319:53, 11 June 2024Trakking talk contribs 12,832 bytes −37 although much appreciated by conservatives, Bloom did not consider himself a conservative; however, he deserves representation in the US template
  • curprev 19:5219:52, 11 June 2024Trakking talk contribs 12,869 bytes −45 a brilliant scholar, just not notable enough; there are more notable Americans represented in this list already
  • curprev 19:5019:50, 11 June 2024Trakking talk contribs 12,914 bytes +56 Undid revision 1228503716 by GreenLoeb (talk) - Lefebvre was heavily involved in politics and was highly influential and published many works; see his article Tag: Undo
  • curprev 19:4719:47, 11 June 2024Trakking talk contribs 12,858 bytes +23 although controversial, it is an associated ideology [Iron Guard in Romania, Rexist party in Belgium etc.]
  • curprev 17:1517:15, 11 June 2024Biohistorian15 talk contribs 12,835 bytes −8 Kk @GreenLoeb, while I might reformat it in the future, I will do it along different lines... - meanwhile more elementary edits like this one...
  • curprev 16:0816:08, 11 June 2024GreenLoeb talk contribs 12,843 bytes −40 Rem. Sowell because 1. he is primarily an economist, 2. his "philosophical" works are more appropriately works of political commentary and intervention, 3. his relevance outside the United States is dubious, and 4. he considers himself a libertarian. He merits inclusion on the US Conservatism template, but not here. If you don't agree though, I'm open to being convinced on the talk page.
  • curprev 16:0416:04, 11 June 2024GreenLoeb talk contribs 12,883 bytes −56 Removing Lefebvre; he is not in any significant way important as a thinker/intellectual. He was a traditionalist Catholic bishop who held frankly unoriginal and boilerplate traditional Catholic views on politics, but made no major contribution to thought. His importance lies in his office as a priest who opposed Vatican II. Tag: Reverted
  • curprev 16:0216:02, 11 June 2024GreenLoeb talk contribs 12,939 bytes +168 I agree with Trakking re:the formatting of this list; please do not alter it again and if you have a problem take it to talk. I do think some of the figures Biohistorian added merit inclusion; Bloom and Voegelin are major thinkers who unquestionably deserve inclusion, and Weaver and Gottfried are certainly more important and influential than some figures already included here, like Hitchens or Lefebvre.
