In his 1953 book, The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot, Kirk summarized conservatism in six central tenets: 1) Belief in a transcendent order 2) Respect for the complexity of human existence 3) Civilized society requires orders and classes 4) Freedom and property are closely linked 5) Distrust of “sophisters, calculators, and economists” who would reconstruct society upon abstract designs 6) Change is necessary, but it must proceed carefully, cautiously, and with an eye toward preserving core social institutions
