32.Liberty or Equality? Emerson's "The Conservative," Cosmic Justice & the Wild Crab of Conservatism

Liberty or Equality? Pt. I Emerson's "The Conservative": RALPH WALDO EMERSON, COSMIC JUSTICE, AND THE WILD CRAB OF CONSERVATISM This week, we touch of our investigation into the tensions between Liberty and Equality as we cover Ralph Waldo Emerson's great essay, THE CONSERVATIVE. The essay is a kind of intergenerational dialogue between the spirit of reform (Anarchy) and the body of conservative knowledge (Culture). As such, it provides a perfect launchpad for our upcoming investigations into cultural opinions regarding reform, principles, nationalism, moral evolution, ethics, race, IQ, markets, the fallacy of a capitalist meritocracy. **Featuring a prefatory essay by Morgan A.
