Abstract

Based on the analysis of the seminal texts Reflections on the Revolution in France, by Edmund Burke; On Being Conservative, by Michael Oakeshott; and Why I Am Not Conservative, by Friedrich A. Hayek, this essay presents the fundamental principles of modern conservatism originally articulated against liberalism, while exposing the theoretical elements that support the contradictory political alliance condensed into the phrase conservative in customs and liberal in economics.
