The effort to understand human nature in a political context is a daunting challenge that has been undertaken in a variety of ways and by a myriad of disciplines through the ages. From Plato to Hobbes and Burke, to Wallas and Oakeschott in our era, efforts have been made to provide some organic framework for the political study of mankind. What has added greatly to the complexity of the task is the increasing denial, even rejection, in the positivist and behaviorist traditions, of the very notion of a human nature.

At the beginning of the 1990s, conservative commentators have increasingly focused on the growing fragmentation of the American political and intellectual Right. From the early postwar years, when a small band of intellectual dissidents emerged in response to the Soviet threat, to the 1980s and the Reagan years, when the coalition of journalists, politicians, and lobbyists known as the New Right reached the height of its influence, the conservative movement has always been a complex, shifting set of ideologies and factions.

For African Americans during the War for Independence, what mattered most was freedom from slavery. As the Revolution spread from American colony to American colony, men in bondage took up arms for whatever side promised them liberty when the conflict ended. An estimated 100,000 blacks escaped, died, or were killed during the American Revolution. Many are remembered as heroes today. Here, from New York Times bestselling historian Thomas Fleming, is their extraordinary and little-told story.

In The Morality of Everyday Life, Thomas Fleming offers an alternative to the enlightened liberalism espoused by thinkers as different as Kant, Mill, Rand, and Rawls. Philosophers in the liberal tradition, although they disagree on many important questions, agree that moral and political problems should be looked at from an objective point of view and a decision made from a rational perspective that is universally applied to all comparable cases.

Fleming considers the roles of both biological and social evolution in world development. Fleming makes an excellent case throughout for the universality of federalism in both the social and the biological world. Devolution, decentralization, regionalism, and localism may all be seen at work in the organic world, while, in the comparative history of human states, empires, and republics, we repeatedly find recurrences of the federal structure.
In Journal of American History that Fleming and Gottfried broadly refer to conservatives as people who accept sexual and social distinctions and “ancestral ways,” see human nature as being fixed, support civility, and encourage social and human diversity. He wrote that they do not mention as being acceptable Fascists, racists, conspiracies, and xenophobes. The book does not attempt to analyze organizational structures or memberships, publications, mass opinions, or gritty fundamentals.
Fleming and Gottfried come to the same conclusion as George Nash in his The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America since 1945. By the 1980s, more Americans identified themselves as conservatives than during any other period. The authors note “the increasing irrelevance of pre-war, especially non-American, traditionalist thinking for the postwar Right. A distinctive feature of the contemporary American Right is its emphasis on progress; moving beyond the past toward a future of unlimited material opportunity and social improvement. The authors define neoconservatives as a small number of academics who dismiss the Old Right tradition, which they seek to replace with democratic capitalism and global democracy in a progressive society that continually moves to the left.
Fleming was described as an authoritarian who dismisses democracy and disdains justice as threats to 'the natural order'.
