RE: Traditional Conservatism (Part 1): Thomas Aquinas

in #conservatism6 years ago

"six canons of conservative thought" and they are all contained in Thomism. These canons are (1) belief in "transcendental order" and natural law, (2) opposition to egalitarianism, (3) belief that civil society needs hierarchy and class distinctions, (4) connecting freedom and property, and believing that abolition or alteration of property rules would lead to despotism or chaos, (5) faith in customs, conventions, and traditions, and (6) recognition that change is not necessarily a good thing and could actually be a "conflagration."

I think I'm pretty conservative.
