Biografisk notat
Joseph Prud’homme is the Burton Family Chair in Religion, Politics, and Culture and associate professor of political science and affiliated faculty member in religious studies at Washington College. Professor Prud’homme is the founding Director of the Institute for Religion, Politics, and Culture at Washington College. He received his doctorate from Princeton University, where he studied in the Interdepartmental Program in Political Philosophy, with additional specialization in constitutional law and religious studies.We live in a time of political, social, and philosophical unrest. Such times call for a rethinking. One effort at this rethinking is what we call the 'new conservatism.' What is this new conservatism? What makes it conservative and what makes it new? Joseph Prud’homme has produced the best summary yet of this new movement through contributions from its leading lights, fellow travelers, and critics. His introduction alone is a masterful summary of the conservative intellectual tradition and the new right’s place in it. No reader will walk away from this book ignorant of what the new conservatism is and what it means for the country or for the future of the conservative intellectual tradition in all its variety.

<i>The New Conservatism and its Critics</i> is an important collection that should be essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the current intellectual debates on the right.
- Keith Whittington, Yale Law School
This book provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of the monumental changes that have transpired in conservative ideology and policy since the election of Donald J. Trump. It offers a collection of intellectually stimulating articles from distinguished scholars, authors, and pundits, representing a wide range of opinions and perspectives across the political spectrum on the most important social and moral issues facing the nation. It allows the reader to step back from the typical emotive response to Trump on the left and the right in the popular forum and seriously engage contemporary issues of the day and new ways of approaching those issues in the political landscape from some of the best minds in the country.
