Fascinating appreciation of Robert Nisbet (whose 'Sociological Tradition' was in the Penang Free School library) by a conservative, Gary North.
"Was Nisbet a conservative or a liberal? I shall now make a statement that may get me into a lot trouble: there have been no prominent conservative philosophers in the Anglo-American conservative movement. They have all been classical liberals. Nisbet was no exception.
What is my definition of a conservative? It is a person who believes that the irreducible unit of civil law is not the individual citizen."
