What is a conservative?
A lecture by Dr Robin Harris
What does it mean to be a conservative in the 21st century? What distinguishes conservatism from other philosophies and intellectual approaches to political questions, and what are its implications for policy?
These questions will be posed by the historian and writer Robin Harris in the second in the series of lectures on conservatism staged by the Danube Institute.
Dr Robin Harris is a former member of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s Downing Street Policy Unit, and the author of The Conservatives – A History, and Not for Turning – The Complete Life of Margaret Thatcher.
In his lecture, Robin Harris argues that conservatism should be taken seriously as a philosophical position and, indeed, as the grounding for modern Right-of-Centre politics. Conservatism’s two key elements – economic liberalism and social traditionalism – which were effectively combined under Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, have recently been under strain. Yet they are mutually compatible, and equally necessary. Ideological muddle in the Anglo-Saxon world, and the corrosive ambitions of the European Union in mainland Europe have made the time-honoured conservative formula seem less relevant. That is mistaken. It is time to take a fresh look.
The lecture is being jointly organised by the Danube Institute and the Arts Faculty of Pázmány Péter Catholic University.
Ferenc Hörcher, Professor of Aesthetics and Political Theory at Pázmány Péter Catholic University and director at the Insitute of Philosophy of the Hungarian Academy of Scieences, will respond.

Political Realism and Practical Morality
Political Realism and Practical Morality: Historical and Theoretical Perspectives
A workshop at the Institute of Philosophy of HAS for political philosophers and historians of early modern political thought
Call for Papers
The Research Group on Practical Philosophy and the History of Ideas of the Institute of Philosophy, HAS announces its plan to organise a workshop on 18-19. November 2016 on an emerging field of common interest for political philosophers and historians of political thought. The recent boom of political realism both in an international and in a national dimension provokes new or newly formulated research questions for both scholars of international relations, political theory and the early modern history of political thought. The Institute of Philosophy will provide a friendly atmosphere for a research workshop on this theme, with plans of working out the framework for further potential common research programmes.
The Agenda
Seminar Series: Peter Schroder
The Institute of Philosophy of the Research Centre for the Humanities of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences kindly invites you to the upcoming talk of its seminar series
Prof. Peter Schroder (UCL and IAS/CEU):
Fidem observandam esse - Trust and Fear in Hobbes and Locke
Date and Venue of the lecture: 19th April 2016, 4.00 pm, Institute of Philosophy, Research Centre for the Humanities, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 30. Országház Street, 2. floor, "Pepita" room.
Abstract:
This paper aims to demonstrate that trust commanded an important place among the concepts of seventeenth-century political thought. Understanding the place of trust within the political thought of Hobbes and Locke helps to comprehend the fundamental differences of their positions. A focus on trust permits better understanding of their different uses and connotations of more explicit political and juridical concepts such as punishment, sovereignty, or resistance. Engaging with Hobbes’s argument, Locke tried to advance the discussion of trust in a distinctively different direction.
