Traditionalist conservatism, often known as classical conservatism, is a political and social philosophy that emphasizes the importance of transcendent moral principles, manifested through certain posited natural laws to which it is claimed society should adhere.[1] It is one of many different forms of conservatism. Traditionalist conservatism, as known today, is based on Edmund Burke's political views[1] as well as the views of Joseph de Maistre.[2][3] Traditionalists value social ties and the preservation of ancestral institutions above what they perceive as excessive individualism.[1] One of the first uses of the phrase "conservatism" began around 1818 with a monarchist newspaper named "Le Conservateur", written by Francois Rene de Chateaubriand with the help of Louis de Bonald.
The concepts of nation, culture, custom, convention, and tradition are heavily emphasized in traditionalist conservatism.[4] Theoretical reason is regarded as of secondary importance to practical reason.[4] The state is also viewed as a social endeavor with spiritual and organic characteristics. Traditionalists think that any change spontaneously arises from the community's traditions rather than as a consequence of deliberate, reasoned thought. Leadership, authority, and hierarchy are seen as natural to humans.[4] Traditionalism arose in Europe throughout the 18th century as a reaction to the Enlightenment, as well as the English and French Revolutions. Traditionalist conservatism began to establish itself as an intellectual and political force in the mid-20th century.[5]
