Philosophically illiterate fag here.
Is there any philosopher I can read that justifies conservative values, family values, honoring family values, patriotism and this kind of thing? Pic somehow related.
>>

OP here. With " honoring family values" I meant "honoring traditions". Don't know how I ended up typing that wrong.

"You don't use logic to prove a liberal that an authoritative government is more effective than a progressive democracy. Instead, you punch him in the face until he understands what "authority" means".

Conservative values are upheld by using violence against those who don't agree with you.
>>
>>338054
Kant
Hobbes
Evola

Go look at any random comment page from vox.com and tell me if that's not the pot calling the kettle black.
>>
>>338288

Not where i live.

>>338303

This. Americans can't do anything without violence
>>
>>338288
Unlike marxist values which are upheld purely by friendly cooperation and no coercion at all
>>
>>338054
Confucius. That is exactly him.
>>
>>338303
I don't look at random websites you pulled out of your ass. You made a quote that pretty much said that.

>>338319
well I'm not marxist so
>>
>>338054
You don't read philosophy to justify affirm things you already believe in. That's the worst type of philosophy reader. Just fucking listen to conservative radio and buy the books they tell.

Also "thou shalt" philosophy is garbage. Just saying "you should value family" would get trashed by Hume's Is-Ought. Value systems are derivatives.
>>
>>338288
Cultural hegemony is upheld by using violence against those who don't agree with you. Look at European antifas
>>
>>338054
Go read based Stirner, you won't regret it OP.
He writes a lot about this kind of values
>>
>>338318
Actually, we do plenty of things without violence in American civil society despite the fact that sometimes we REALLY FUCKING WANT TO.

You know reading stuff only to confirm your own bias is a bad idea. Read everything and everyone and if you still think leftists are garbage stick with the right.
Anyway you have:
>Eastern Tradition
Confucius
>the Classics
Plato
Cato the Elder
Cato the Younger
Cicero (somewhat)
>Scholastics
Thomas Aquinas
Adelard of Bath
William of Ockham
>16th-18th century
Hobbes
Descartes
Kant
>after 19th century
Hegel
Kierkegaard
Evola
Maurras

Also what you're giving us is really broad stuff. For example Kierkegaard was all about muh family and muh Christianity but absolutely hated the clergy and the state.
>>
>>338054
Hume and Stirner my friend
>>
>>338446
Wasn't there some French philosopher during the times of the revolution too. He supported a very strong authoratarian government. It's just that I'm not good with French names
>>
>>338460

Joseph de Maistre maybe. He was the original counter revolutionary.

>>338446
Evola and "family values" are pretty antithetical.

It all really depends on just what you mean by "conservatism" OP.
>>
>>338446
>Hegel
I fucking wish conservatives read him widely at least they'd get dialectics
>>
>>338516
Further in the french register, there's François-René de Chateaubriand and Marcel Proust. Both firmly on the conservative-royalist side of politics.
>>
>>338054
you don't go into philosophy trying to justify your beliefs, go and build you own by growing your understanding ya idiot

>Is there any philosopher I can read that justifies conservative values, family values, honoring family values, patriotism and this kind of thing?

Philosophy doesn't work like that. Philosophy works on the question of how can we legitimately justify anything ("ethics" or "politics"), or how can we know ("epistemology") or how can ("ontology" "metaphysics).

You're looking for crass political apologetics for what you already believe in.

Looks like you got your answer OP. You should not do anything with bias, let alone study philosophy. Even Socrates and Plato were critiquing the "traditional" values held by Greek society at the time. The unexamined life is not worth living, and I'd say that affirming your preconceived notions with bastardized readings of philosophy falls under that.
>>
>>340561
This, give it up OP, it's not worth it.

Schopenhauer as well was anti revolutionary, not much of a family man though
