Conservatism: A Rediscovery

Yoram Hazony

Regnery Gateway, Washington, D.C., 2022

Volume 7 // Issue 2 // Fall 2025 // Conservation

In his book Conservatism: A Rediscovery, Israeli philosopher and political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that liberal democracy was not as robust a political ideology as we might have once thought. “Five years of political upheaval—from 2016 to 2020—was all it took to shatter the hegemony of Enlightenment liberalism,” he writes. Whether you ultimately agree or not with his conclusion, Hazony’s book is clear-as-a-bell writing that lays out our cultural predicament as we try to balance our rights and freedoms with the difficult work of nation-building in uncertain times. Hazony argues that only a return to centering the nation, family, and faith can build strong countries. His thinking is deeply influential on both sides of the Atlantic, and whether you want a primer on the conservative tradition in general or insight into the philosophy that animates influential figures in the Trump administration, Conservatism is an important cultural artifact. // HSB
