More info on my favorite philosopher: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09554a.htm

He was so far to the right, that he made his right-wing British contemporary, Edmund Burke, sound like a bleeding heart liberal. And that is by the right-wing standards of the Europe of the 1700s.

I assume we're talking pure philosophy and not economic philosophers like Smith, Bastiat, etc?

If it's pure philosophy, I might start with Locke, carry it through to Acton with a little Burke thrown in. Popper is nice. There are many others, even those I disagree with...Marcus Aurelius? Buddha? Lao Tzu?
