Publisher's Synopsis
""Bolingbroke and Progressive Conservatism"" is a book written by F.J.C. Hearnshaw that explores the life and philosophy of Henry St John, Viscount Bolingbroke, an 18th century British philosopher and politician who is considered a pioneer of progressive conservatism. The book examines Bolingbroke's political and philosophical writings, which advocated for a limited government that protected individual freedom and property rights while also promoting social justice and the common good. Hearnshaw analyzes Bolingbroke's ideas in the context of his time and argues that his philosophy has relevance for contemporary conservative thought. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of conservative thought or the development of political philosophy in Britain.THIS 48 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Some Great Political Idealists of the Christian Era, by F.
