I've read it a couple times but I refuse to believe I'm understanding part 3. Can you thumbnail that for me?
As to part 3....I believe that Russell Kirk changed his wording of his first principle from beleif "in a Transcendant Moral Order" to "an Enduring Moral Order" to be able to encompass the seemingly agnostic Hayek and others with whom he felt a solid unity in the Old Whig camp.
This number 3 is Hayek's Mechanism or substitute for the active Divine, IMHO. Later in this chapter, and in following chapters, he addresses moral belief and ethical foundations. Here he is simply showing his unity with Burke on the issues of sophisters.
