Description

IN 2002, the Intercollegiate Review published an essay by Peter Augustine Lawler entitled "Conservative Postmodernism, Postmodern Conservatism." In it, Professor Lawler argued that "conservative thought today is authentic postmodernism." (1) Conservative thought and the postmodernism rampant throughout contemporary academia do have elements in common; for one thing, both offer critiques of modernity. But, most thought that bills itself as postmodern is of course really hypermodern; it accepts some of the most destructive aspects of modern thought and carries them to their logical (but sometimes absurd) extremes. Ultimately, it can do little more than "deconstruct." In contrast to this hypermodernism, most authentic conservative thought assumes a more genuinely critical stance toward the modern project. It points not toward nihilism, but toward a recovery of sources of order and meaning. Although, as Lawler suggests, the term "authentic postmodernism" can be applied to conservative thought broadly, one might argue that the idea of a "conservative postmodernism" or "postmodern conservatism" is especially apt for describing the work of political philosopher Claes G. Ryn.
