This book is a history of conservative political thought. The original English version was published by Princeton University Press. It has now become a designated reference book for relevant courses in many well-known universities and has considerable academic and publishing value. This book records the historical evolution of conservatism in four stages, and examines the views, propositions and practices of many political thinkers in a fluent style. It not only clarifies the inheritance relationship of their political thoughts, but also explores the political environment and personal positions at the time, and explains the influence of conservatism on the Western political thought tradition, especially France, Germany, Britain and the United States. Traditionally, conservatism is considered to be an effort to maintain the status quo and resist reform.
