Yes.
The Clash of Orthodoxies is one I’d highly recommend.
This notion that everyone in “academe” is automatically a liberal and an enemy and must be dismissed because of who they are— their education and status—as opposed to what they actually say— is just ignorant. That’s like the Red Guards—spitting on “the rich” “the bourgeoisie” “the white privileged” while foolishly romanticizing the notions of the “oppressed” and the “noble savage.” It ain’t all “this” or all “that.”
Robert George is a brilliant—and conservative Catholic—academic. He’s one of a dying breed, in the tradition of G.K. Chesterton. We need more like him—and far fewer Melissa Clicks—in our universities.
That’s why it’s disheartening when posters on a putative “conservative” website announce they’ve never heard of him, and don’t want to.
Half the stuff posted on FR is by and about liberals, and is intended, presumably, to be held up to ridicule while at the same time we learn something from them.
But what’s scary is when we don’t seem to learn anything from the enemy, but instead absorb and internalize the enemy’s ideology and methodology to the point that we’re allowing ourselves to be co-opted and conscripted into their ranks without even realizing what’s happening to us.
You speak of a little known professor who has written a book you know. Good for you
All the lawyer types I am sure may agree with you.
Please don’t be so intellectually snobbish as to suggest that George is the keeper of conservatism.
I have read Hyaek,Lewis,Druty,Freidman,Buckley, and others. Just because your professor isn’t included is no big deal. The ideas of Locke and Knox and Aristotle and Plato and Pasternak and Solzheneitzen are time less
I find your devotion to one author rather odd
