YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Join Dr. Susan Hanssen, Associate Professor of History at the University of Dallas, for an engaging and thought-provoking lecture from the 2024 ISI Honors Conference. In her talk, "The American Founding: Revolutionary or Conservative?" Dr. Hanssen dives into Russell Kirk's classic work, The Roots of American Order, to explore the philosophical and historical foundations of the United States.

Was the American founding a radical break from tradition, or was it a conservative effort to preserve enduring principles of liberty and order? Dr. Hanssen examines this pivotal question, tracing the influence of Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and Philadelphia on the American experiment.

With a compelling mix of historical insight and philosophical depth, this lecture is a must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the roots of the American order and the enduring questions about its nature and purpose.
