Classical Conservatism

Classical Conservatism, also called Traditional Conservatism, is a type of conservative that focuses on traditions stemming from before the enlightenment philosophy.

ClassCons emphasize the need for the principles of a transcendent moral order, the bonds of social order, and the defense of ancestral institutions over what they consider as excessive individualism.

They also place a strong emphasis on authority and  tradition among other things.

Despite being culturally right, they are neither nationalist nor  reactionary (although the latter is debatable).
