Leo Strauss (see this excellent article on Strauss by Claes Ryn) seems to have used sophistical analysis in defining some aspects of Conservatism. He twisted Edmund Burke's meaning of the inevitability of the power of Providence in saying that Burke gave into “the new” if the new had enough power behind it. (See Kirk's “Three Pillars of Order” in Redeeming The Time” )
Could we conclude that the reason Strauss did this was so that he could emphasize Plato's “conservatism” more or less minus Christian conservatism? Could we say that Strauss hinted that Plato's “Guardians” might be compared to modern neoconservative "guardians?"
In any case, the Evolutionary Christian Church seeks to retain the Classical-Traditional religious synthesis within our Involutionary Inward Path and add evolution to our Evolutionary Outward Path. That is, we seek ecumenism among all the world's religions because we define them all as existing within the Involutionary Inward Path to the God Within, and we add to them the natural law principles of evolution, with the goal of evolving to Godhood. This basically defines both Ordered Evolution and Revitalized Conservatism.
