Modern Age is an American conservative academic quarterly journal. It was founded in 1957 by Russell Kirk in collaboration with Henry Regnery. Between 1957 and 1976, the journal was published independently in Chicago. In 1976, it was acquired by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, its current publisher.
History
[edit]20th century
[edit]In founding Modern Age in 1957, Russell Kirk hoped for "a dignified forum for reflective, traditionalist conservatism" and the magazine has remained one of the voices of intellectual, small-"c" conservatism to the present day.[citation needed]
Reflecting the ideals of its founder, in its politics it is traditionalist, localist, against most military interventions, not libertarian, anti-Straussian, and generally critical of neoconservatism. In its religious sympathies it adheres to orthodoxy, whether Roman Catholic, Jewish, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant.[citation needed]
Modern Age has been described by historian George H. Nash as "the principal quarterly of the intellectual right."[citation needed] Paul Gottfried, a professor at Elizabethtown College, has said that "Modern Age represents humanistic learning, reverence for the eternal, and the sense of human finiteness, values that (alas) have less and less to do with the academic presentation of the liberal arts."[citation needed]
Kirk edited the publication from 1957 to 1959. Eugene Davidson edited it from 1960 to 1969. David S. Collier was its third editor from 1970 to 1983. Its fourth editor, from 1094 to 2007, was George A. Panichas.
