Philosophical approach: for liberals it is idealism: they operate according to utopian schemes they evolve within their heads since they accept no fixed and natural social order. Examples: feminism, homosexual “rights,” socialism, and so forth. For conservatives, on the other hand, the philosophical framework is realism, with its insistence on an objective and knowable moral and social order.

Human nature: for liberals it is perfectible; for conservatives it is flawed (earlier we considered the consequences of these two views).

Law: for liberals it is the expression of the common will; for conservatives it is the expression of God’s law and objective order.

Society: for liberals it is composed of individual human atoms; for conservatives it is communitarian — made up of all those “bodies” dear to corporatism: family, Church, guild, and so on.

Political ideal: for liberals it is liberty; for conservatives, order and the common good.

Rights: for liberals rights are the claims or wants of individuals, defined by the state and changeable; for conservatives they are the counterpart of man’s duties toward God and others and are independent of what a state might decree.
