The book explores the origins of Conservative thought in Germany around 1770, highlighting its emergence as a reaction to Enlightenment challenges in religion, socioeconomics, and politics. The author, Professor Epstein, contends that this early movement predates the influence of the French Revolution and should not be viewed merely as an intellectual phenomenon. Instead, it is intricately linked to the broader political and social dynamics of the era, offering a comprehensive analysis of Conservatism's development in a historical context.
