Abstract

Analyzing its relationship to reason, tradition, social organization and other key moments of disagreement, the article exposes how the early post-revolutionary Conservatism criticizing the Enlightenment and, at the same time, articulate their own learning. Special attention is given to Burke's and Maistre's visions of violations of the Enlightenment philosophy on the historical and political mission that they believed their nations and humanity should meet. It is concluded that in this formative period, in relation to the eighteenth-century Enlightenment and the French Revolution, for which the former is held responsible, conservatism formed its own doctrine, Its counter-enlightenment and anti-modernist motives therefore remain distinctive marks of Conservativism to this day.
