losthunderlads: This is one of the reasons I think more people should read the writings of Irving Babbitt and others who wrote about the humanities well before the boom times. The times in which they lived had far more in common with our likely future than does 1944-1994.

QuotesFamous3: [faith] A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism. - Irving Babbitt
DurhamWASP: "Commercialism is laying its great greasy paw upon everything including the irresponsible quest of thrills; so that, whatever democracy may be theoretically, one is sometimes tempted to define it practically as standardized and commercialized melodrama."

HammillRyan: Who came up with the line “nominalism ruined the west”? I assumed it was relatively recent, but here’s Irving Babbitt writing in 1924.
ConservaMuse: “The conservative nowadays is interested in conserving property for its own sake, and not, like Burke, in conserving it because it is an almost indispensable support of personal liberty, a genuinely spiritual thing.” — Irving Babbitt

beige_lovxr: For behind all imperialism is ultimately the imperialistic individual, just as behind all peace is ultimately the peaceful individual. - Irving Babbitt

JaycobYes: Was he thinking of Albert J Nock? H.L. Mencken? Isabel Paterson? Irving Babbitt? Or was he not imagining specific people and simply saying a system that starts as liberal can have conservative defenders? The interview didn’t really clear this up for me. (4/4)
losthunderlads: Here's your chance to get a copy of Irving Babbitt's DEMOCRACY AND LEADERSHIP at a red-hot discount. They have other books too, but that's the only one of his.

bradleybirzer: During the 1890s and early 20th century, it was conservatives, such as E.L. Godkin, Irving Babbitt, and Paul Elmer more who opposed racism and eugenics. I think your history is ABSOLUTELY wrong.

TrueQuotation: I think we lost a great deal of sympathy and support with the way in which the crisis was handled, most importantly I think when we appeared to be grasping for too much at one time instead of identifying our priorities in a much more responsible fashion. — Irving Babbitt

bruceahuntjr: If Leo Strauss never comes along, does Irving Babbitt have greater impact? Babbitt seems eclipsed, but was there first on philosophers creating modernity, or no? And Strauss' weird anti-Burkeness. Residual conservative anger at Rousseau from Babbitt. Something here?

ALablab88: We must not, however, be like the leaders of the great romantic revolt who, in their eagerness to get rid of the husk of convention, disregarded also the humane aspiration.

InfiniteTask: The reason niche political philosophers US conservatives push will never be popular like Continental left wing theorists is not because they’re necessarily less smart. It’s just hard to get hyped about a guy called Irving Babbitt when Žižek, Virilio, Agamben etc. are right there.
