- Summary:
- Denes (history of ideas, U. of Debrecen, Hungary) explores whether the purpose of the Hungarian conservative response to the liberal challenge during the 1840s was to defend the equilibrium of social classes and nationalities at European, imperial, and national levels, or to safeguard and modernize the system of privileges by birth. In the core of his treatise, he traces the evolution of conservative ideas and positions from 1839 to 1848. Among the stages are what to preserve, what to give up, and what to modernize; separation versus unification; which kind of law and order; issues and arguments in journalists' offensive; party programs; and conservative politics in defense. Early chapters look at the context, the particular type of conservatism in Hungary, and the liberal challenge to build the nation through reform. Later chapters describe the making of the conservative myth and its own evolution over the century following defeat. Liberalis kihivasra adott konzervativ valasz was published in 2008 by Argumentum Kiado, Bibo Istvan Szellemi Muhely, Budapest. Judit Pokoly's English translation has been revised and supplemented.
