Gottfried argues that the lack of a true historical perspective was a serious defect in the postwar American conservative movement, and it grew worse in the years that followed. Essential reading for conservative thinkers, political philosophers, and American political historians, \u003ci\u003eThe Search for Historical Meaning\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with an incisive examination of the American conservative movement that has implications for today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Gottfried\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northern Illinois University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875801148","brand":"Northern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43369843097737,"sku":"9780875801148","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_57546000-ba69-4f7a-9c63-159a9a5ea46a.jpg?v=1739859366","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-search-for-historical-meaning-hegel-and-the-postwar-american-right-9780875801148","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
