This lecture is relevant to the third of Kirk's Six Canons of Conservatism


  1. "Belief in a transcendent order, or body of natural law, which rules society as well as conscience."

  2. "Affection for the proliferating variety and mystery of human existence, as opposed to the narrowing uniformity, egalitarianism, and utilitarian aims of most radical systems;"

  3. "Conviction that civilized society requires orders and classes, as against the notion of a 'classless society'."

Brilliant. Yet nothing more than I would expect from a man of Russell Kirk's genius.
