Rediscovering the New Humanism: Eric Adler on Babbitt & More | Conservative Conversations

What happens when two of the 20th century’s most formidable thinkers exchange letters about literature, culture, religion, and politics? In this episode of Conservative Conversations, classicist and scholar Eric Adler joins host Tom Sarrouf to discuss his newly released book, Humanistic Letters: The Irving Babbitt–Paul Elmer More Correspondence. Adler offers an in-depth look at the minds behind the New Humanism—a movement that profoundly shaped modern conservative thought and inspired figures like T.S. Eliot, C.S. Lewis, and Russell Kirk.
