Summary: The Conservative Sensibility is a monumental new reflection on American conservatism, examining how the Founders’ belief in natural rights created a great American political tradition--one that now finds itself under threat. In the intellectual battle between the vision of Founding Fathers like James Madison, who advanced the notion of natural rights that pre-exist government, and the progressivism advanced by Woodrow Wilson, the Founders have been losing. It’s time to reverse America’s political fortunes. Expansive, intellectually thrilling, and written with the erudite wit that has made Will beloved by millions of readers, The Conservative Sensibility is an extraordinary new book from one of America’s most celebrated political writers. George Will is a Pulitzer Prize award-winning Washington Post columnist covering politics and domestic and foreign affairs.
