Metaphysical Reasons For Conservatism

In this episode of Firing Lane, Croaky and Tahgi explore the profound depths of metaphysical conservatism, delving into how timeless principles like natural law, tradition, and human fallibility shape the conservative worldview. The duo examines the philosophical roots of conservatism through the lens of thinkers like Burke and Scruton, emphasizing the importance of virtue, aesthetics, and skepticism of utopian ideals. With Croaky’s wit and Tahgi’s grounded perspective, they argue that conservatism is more than politics—it’s a way of understanding the world through universal truths and a reverence for order and beauty. Together, they highlight how this philosophy offers not just governance but a roadmap for personal and societal flourishing amidst modern chaos.
