The idea that conservatism amounts to little more than being in favour of free market capitalism and a small state—widely held for decades—is seriously mistaken.Award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is to return to a genuine conservatism that is distinct from the hollow promises of contemporary economic and social liberalism. He explains how this great Anglo-American conservative tradition – rooted in empiricism, faith and the nation – emerged and developed in England in the thought of men like Richard Hooker and Edmund Burke, and later inspired American figures ranging from the Federalists to Lincoln. He analyses how this tradition was corrupted and subverted from the 1960s onwards by the right’s misconceived embrace of ‘fusionism’ and liberalism, and how it can be revived today to respond to an era of progressive hegemony.Reflecting on his own first-hand experiences - and the importance of personal behaviour, piety and virtue in rebuilding the culture and politics of conservatism – Hazony makes a powerful counter-cultural case for a revivified conservatism that no-one dissatisfied with the current state of the political right can afford to miss.

In this "tour de force" (National Review), the leader of the National Conservatism movement argues that nationalism is the only realistic safeguard of liberty in the world todayNationalism is the issue of our age. From Donald Trump's "America First" politics to Brexit to the rise of the right in Europe, events have forced a crucial debate: Is international government the path to human flourishing? Or will humankind be freer and happier in a world of independent self-governing nations? In The Virtue of Nationalism, Yoram Hazony contends that a world of sovereign nations is the only option for those who care about personal and collective freedom. He demonstrates that, beginning in the sixteenth century, English, French, Dutch, and American Christians embraced the Old Testament's vision of national independence, a vision that eventually brought freedom to peoples from Poland and India to Israel and Ethiopia. International events since the book's original publication have made it more timely than ever. This updated paperback edition features a new preface and afterword by the author.

In what may be the most controversial book on Zionism and Israel published in the last twenty years, Yoram Hazony graphically portrays the cultural and political revolt against Israel's status as the Jewish state. Examining ideological trends in academia, literature, media, law, the armed forces, and the foreign policy establishment, Hazony contends that Israelis are preparing themselves for the final break with the Jewish past and the Jewish future. In a dramatic new reading of Israeli history, Hazony uncovers the story of how Martin Buber, Gershom Scholem, Hannah Arendt, and other German-Jewish intellectuals bitterly fought against the establishment of Israel, and later used the Hebrew University as a base for deposing David Ben-Gurion and discrediting labour Zionism. The Jewish State is a must-read for anyone concerned with Israel's present and future.

What if the Hebrew Bible wasn't meant to be read as 'revelation'? What if it's not really about miracles or the afterlife - but about how to lead our lives in this world? The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture proposes a new framework for reading the Bible. It shows how biblical authors used narrative and prophetic oratory to advance universal arguments about ethics, political philosophy and metaphysics. It offers bold new studies of biblical narratives and prophetic poetry, transforming forever our understanding of what the stories of Abel, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and David and the speeches of Isaiah and Jeremiah, were meant to teach. The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture assumes no belief in God or other religious commitment. It assumes no previous background in Bible. It is free of disciplinary jargon. Open the door to a book you never knew existed. You'll never read the Bible the same way again.

A political crisis erupts when the Persian government falls to fanatics, and a Jewish insider goes rogue, determined to save her people at all costs. God and Politics in Esther explores politics and faith. It is about an era in which the prophets have been silenced and miracles have ceased, and Jewish politics has come to depend not on commands from on high, but on the boldness and belief of each woman and man. Esther takes radical action to win friends and allies, reverse terrifying decrees, and bring God's justice into the world with her own hands. Hazony's The Dawn has long been a cult classic, read at Purim each year the world over. Twenty years on, this revised edition brings the book to much wider attention. Three controversial new chapters address the astonishingly radical theology that emerges from amid the political intrigues of the book.

In the wake of Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, countless words have been written and uttered about nationalism-many accusing nationalists of racism, hatred, and violence. But nationalism wasn't always considered evil. Indeed, such venerated figures as John Stuart Mill, Churchill, Eisenhower, and Ben-Gurion considered themselves nationalists. Were the men and women of that era misguided in their emphasis on self-determination for all peoples?In The Virtue of Nationalism, the philosopher Yoram Hazony offers an incisively original case for national sovereignty in an era when it is under attack from many sides. He recounts how in the 17th and 18th centuries, English, Dutch, and American Protestants revived the Old Testament's love of national independence, and how their nationalism freed the world from the vision of universal empire promoted by German-Catholic Holy Roman Emperors. Their vision became the basis of opposition to imperialists of later eras, and eventually brought freedom to peoples from Poland to India, and from Israel to Ethiopia.But since the 1960s, the tide has turned against national independence. "Globalists" say that self-determination brought us two World Wars and the Holocaust. The answer they offer us-global governance-is well-intentioned. Yet it has reawakened hatreds, stoking chaos and revolt across the world.Hazony argues that we will be forced to choose between a world of independent states, or a renewal of universal empire-in the form of the European Union or American hegemony. The Virtue of Nationalism makes clear that anyone who values their freedoms should fight for a world of nations.

The idea that American conservatism is identical to "classical" liberalism—widely held since the 1960s—is seriously mistaken. The award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is a return to the empiricist, religious, and nationalist traditions of America and Britain—the conservative traditions that brought greatness to the English-speaking nations and became the model for national freedom for the entire world. Conservatism: A Rediscovery explains how Anglo-American conservatism became a distinctive alternative to divine-right monarchy, Puritan theocracy, and liberal revolution. After tracing the tradition from the Wars of the Roses to Burke and across the Atlantic to the American Federalists and Lincoln, Hazony describes the rise and fall of Enlightenment liberalism after World War II and the present-day debates between neoconservatives and national conservatives over how to respond to liberalism and the woke left. Going where no political thinker has gone in decades, Hazony provides a fresh theoretical foundation for conservatism. Rejecting the liberalism of Hayek, Strauss, and the "fusionists" of the 1960s, and drawing on decades of personal experience in the conservative movement, he argues that a revival of authentic Anglo-American conservatism is possible in the twenty-first century.

Nationalism är frågan för vår tid. Från Donald Trumps "America First" till Brexit och till högerns framgångar i Europa är Västvärldens demokratier inblandade i en våldsam debatt: Borde vi kämpa för en internationell regering? Eller borde varje nation behålla sin självständighet och sitt självbestämmande? I "Nationalismens dygd" hävdar den politiske filosofen Yoram Hazony att en värld med självständiga nationer är det bästa politiska systemet. Han beskriver hur, med början under 1500-talet, engelska, holländska och amerikanska protestanter återupplivade Gamla Testamentets betoning på nationell självständighet, som ledde till grundandet av de första moderna nationalstaterna. Under senare epoker gav den nationalistiska drömmen frihet från Polen till Indien och från Israel till Etiopien. Radikaler såg Woodrow Wilson och Franklin Roosevelt som bringare av hopp, eftersom de utlovade nationellt oberoende för förtryckta grupper runt om i världen. Samtidigt välkomnade konservativa Ronald Reagans och Margaret Tatchers "nya nationalism". Men utvecklingen har vänt sig mot nationalismen. Internationalister hävdar att den är grogrunden för rasism och hat. Svaret som de ger - globalt styre - är välmenat. Vad de bortser från, visar Hazony, är att vi alla är påverkade av de band som binder oss till våra familjer, samhällen och nationer. Vare sig de stödjer EU eller Amerikanskt herravälde försöker dagens internationalister att bryta ner dessa lojalitetsband och utplåna de kulturarv som är grunden för individuell och kollektiv identitet. I den processen har de också eldat på en motreaktion runt världen. Det är den nationalistiska traditionen, hävdar Hazony, som vi måste återuppväcka om vi vill begränsa konflikter och hat - och tillåta mänskliga skillnader att blomstra. Yoram Hazony är chef för Herzl Institute i Jerusalem. Han är författare till böckerna "The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture" och "The Jewish State: The Struggle for Israel’s Soul". Han bor I Jerusalem.
