Robert Kraynak of ''The New Criterion'' offers this view of conservative liberalism: "Instead of following [[progressive liberalism]], conservative liberals draw upon pre-modern sources, such as [[Ancient philosophy|classical philosophy]] (with its ideas of [[virtue]], the [[common good]], and [[natural rights]]), [[Christianity]] (with its ideas of [[natural law]], the social nature of man, and [[original sin]]), and ancient institutions (such as [[common law]], corporate bodies, and social hierarchies). This gives their liberalism a conservative foundation. It means following [[Plato]], [[Aristotle]], [[St. Augustine]], St. [[Thomas Aquinas]], and [[Edmund Burke]] rather than [[John Locke|Locke]] or [[Immanuel Kant|Kant]]; it usually includes a deep sympathy for the politics of the [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] ''[[polis]]'', the [[Roman Republic]], and [[Christian]] [[Monarchy|monarchies]]. But, as realists, conservative liberals acknowledge that [[Classical antiquity|classical]] and [[Middle Ages|medieval]] politics cannot be restored in the modern world. And, as moralists, they see that the modern experiment in liberty and self-government has the positive effect of enhancing human dignity as well as providing an opening (even in the midst of mass culture) for transcendent longings for eternity. At its practical best, conservative liberalism promotes ordered liberty and establishes constitutional safeguards against tyranny.<ref name="Kraynak"/> |
