In the years following World War II, the fusionist philosophy--which united the classical liberal defense of individual freedom with the Judeo-Christian tradition of moral virtue--became the foundation of the conservative movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an ironic twist, fusionism's triumph during the Reagan years led to its decline, as its proponents no longer felt the need to explain and defend their beliefs. Today, many on the right embrace an emphatically anti-fusionist, power-oriented approach to politics that marks a sharp break from the principles of the American founding. And yet, Slade argues, it's not too late to rediscover the dual importance of liberty and virtue. Fusionism is a lost philosophy whose time has come again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining intellectual history with contemporary political analysis, \u003cem\u003eFusionism\u003c\/em\u003e is a call to restore the ideas that once shaped the American right and made the United States exceptional. Slade makes the case that a return to fusionism is essential--not only to the health of the conservative movement but also to the survival of a free and virtuous society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephanie Slade is a senior editor at \u003cem\u003eReason\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, where she covers the ins and outs of the American conservative movement.
