ringing tones He is a player in the drama of history and part of a community of souls, formed in character by his forebears and a shaper of generations yet to come. Kirk wrote that when man lacks an object of allegiance, a body of tradition to give context to his life, and small, voluntary communities of family and neighbors, he ends up in the clutches of boredom and aimlessness, and the society of which he is a part slides into decadence. Therefore the great test of the modern conservative is not how to make the economy start humming again -- laudable though that goal is -- but to restore "a living faith to the lonely crowd, how to remind men that life has ends," making for order in the soul and order in the commonwealth. Thus the high value of The Conservative Mind lies in its power to remind the reader of what Kirk (after Eliot) called "the permanent things" -- timeless, normative truths, such as the rightness of honor, courage, and mercy, and the importance of high character. "In essence," wrote Kirk, "the body of belief that we call 'conservatism' is an affirmation of normality in the concerns of society. " He added, "There exist standards to which we may repair; man is not perfectible, but he may achieve a tolerable degree of order, justice, and freedom; both the 'human sciences' and humane studies are means for ascertaining the norms of the civil social order, and for informing the statesman and the reflecting public of the possibilities and the limits of social measures. " This, in miniature, is the key body of truth Kirk discusses in The Conservative Mind. Much of the political history of the past century is a horror story that came about only when men chose to cast aside these truths of tradition and history -- and to forget that which ought not to be forgotten. "The permanent things" are bound up in the first "canon of conservatism" articulated by Kirk in the opening section of The Conservative Mind: "Belief in a transcendent order, or body of natural law, which rules society as well as conscience.
