Why is it important?
Contemporary uses of the label "conservative" are inconsistent and often just refer to right wing policy preferences. Conservatism in this book is empirical, historical, contextual, fallible, and skeptical of "rationalism" in law politics and ethics. We need an intellectual conservatism in our contemporary political climate
