Entry: Wolfe's Howl Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/wolfes_folly#1995 Post contents: Paul's comments capture several major points that Allan Wolfe either avoids or chooses to ignore: Russell Kirk, for whom I was assistant in 1971-72, was a synthesizer, taking equally from history, from literature, from poetry, from philosophy. His intent was not to create a symmetrical ideology, but rather to illustrate that a belief in and devotion to inherited Norms ran through the thoughts and writings of various post-French Revolutionary personnages, and that these thoughts, writings, poetry, etc. were illustrative of a worldview that was both Christian and organic. Rejection of these Norms has led to the disasters we've seen and experienced in modern life and in society. Paul Gottfried understands that, and his response to Professor Wolfe is on target and well stated. Sent at: 2008 07 24
