Zhou, Siyin. Poles of a Conservative Thought: Ideology of Conservatism by European Philosophers of the 18th — 19th Centuries in a Comparative Aspect

Abstract: Conservatism is a mixture of diversified ideological, political and cultural movements based on the idea of tradition and succession in a social and cultural life. Conservatism acquires various forms in the course of history but it is generally characterized by the commitment to existing and long-present social systems and standards, denial of revolutions and radical reforms and assertion of restrictive evolution. Its basic historical forms include liberal, renovating, religious and utopian conservatism. According to the author, it would be useful to compare this ideology with Chinese ideology during the times of Qing dynasty.


Keywords:

cultural studies, conservatism, comparativism, ideology, Enlightenment, the Romantic Movement, classes, society, utopia, religion.
