Sugestão de Leitura

A Intercollegiate Review é uma das melhores revistas de cultura que conheço. Para além da visão conservadora abrangente possui um conjunto de colaboradores que a colocam no topo da reflexão político-filosófica mundial.
Aqui se pode ler o número mais recente da revista.

Na parte de trás uma citação de Richard M. Weaver:

"The most pressing duty of the believer in culture today is to define democracy and keep it within its place…. Democracy is not a pattern for all existence any more than a form of economic activity is a substitute for the whole of living. Truly considered, democracy is nothing more than an ideal of equity among men in their political relationships. Its roots are in the truth that every individual has an inviolable personality, a private experience, and an authentic voice.… When democracy is taken from its proper place and is allowed to fill the entire horizon, it produces an envious hatred not only of all distinction but even of all difference."
