Dear John, 

What do Richard Weaver and C. S. Lewis have in common?

A lot, actually.

And you’ll learn why on our newest podcast.

Robert Koons, a renowned professor at the University of Texas, joins us for a close look at Richard Weaver’s thought.

You’ll find out how Weaver and Lewis identified the same threats to Western civilization and prescribed the same solutions.

You’ll also see why so many consider Weaver to be the man that “got the conservative intellectual movement started.”

But here’s the best part: you’ll hear from Richard Weaver himself!

For this episode, we have pulled a fascinating Weaver lecture from the ISI archive.

Weaver’s insights on relativism are as relevant today as when he delivered them some 60 years ago.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why Weaver disagreed with Russell Kirk about tradition and reason
   
• How the conservative movement began accepting the left’s premises more than a century ago
   
• The idea that Lewis and Weaver both said led to the rise of relativism
   
• Why Weaver said that being middle of the road is one of the worst things you can be
   
• How Lewis embodied Weaver’s 3 P’s: property, poetry, piety

This is one of the best discussions you’ll ever hear about the history of the conservative movement and two of its most important writers.

Give it a listen.

We’ll have a new episode up Saturday, May 15. So subscribe to Conservative Conversations with ISI now.
