The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot Audiobook (Free)

First posted in 1953, this wonderful work will be remembered in ages to come as you of our century’s most significant legacies. The then-young Kirk had written this throughout a period when liberalism was heralded as the only political and intellectual custom in America. There is no doubt that this book is responsible to a large degree for the rise of conservatism as a viable and reliable creed.

Kirk defines “the conservative brain” by examining such amazing men as Edmund Burke, Wayne Fenimore Cooper, Alexis de Tocqueville, John Quincy Adams, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Benjamin Disraeli, Cardinal Newman, George Santayana, and finally, T. S. Eliot. Vigorously created, the publication represents conservatism as an ideology created of sound intellectual traditions.
