Více o knize

Focusing on the philosophical contributions of Aurel Kolnai, this collection highlights his critiques of progressive democracy and utopianism. Daniel J. Mahoney presents Kolnai's key writings, including his comprehensive analysis of liberty and the newly translated essay on conservative versus revolutionary ethos. The volume also features critical evaluations of other thinkers, such as Michael Oakeshott and Jacques Maritain. Together, these essays provide a profound critique of political utopianism and advocate for conservative constitutionalism as essential for understanding true human liberty.
