Abstract
The article examines the contributions of Frank Meyer to conservative thought in the United States, particularly his role in shaping the fusion of traditionalism and libertarianism within the Republican Party. It discusses Meyer's belief in the necessity of a coherent philosophy of conservatism, which he articulated in his work "In Defense of Freedom," where he emphasized the importance of individual freedom and virtue within a moral order. Despite his efforts, the article notes that Meyer's ideas faced criticism from both traditionalists and libertarians, highlighting the ongoing challenges in defining a unified conservative ideology. Ultimately, the piece reflects on the significance of Meyer's legacy in contemporary discussions about conservatism. [Extracted from the article]
