When the previous issue of Modern Age was being readied for the press, the elections of 2008 were yet to be decided. As I write this, we approach the presidential inauguration of a man who is arguably the most radical leftist ever to have held the office. The Winter 2009 issue of the journal might, therefore, be said to mark the onset of a ?winter? for conservatism in American political affairs. Modern Age does not, of course, have a political program or a set of policy prescriptions to offer as an antidote to this situation; such is not our mission. It is worth observing, however, that the election of any Republican or any conservative hardly seemed feasible during the past presidential election, because the terms of political discourse and hence the popular imagination had been wholly captured by the rhetoric of leftist materialism. Hence the mission of Modern Age is to aid in recapturing the culture: to make it possible for the American people to see the world in terms of what Russell Kirk, following Edmund Burke, called the moral imagination, instead of mere sensation; to act according , to sober reflection rather than willful reaction. - Wikipedia: Modern Age is an American conservative academic quarterly journal, founded in 1957 by Russell Kirk in close collaboration with Henry Regnery. Originally published independently in Chicago, in 1976 ownership was transferred to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. ISBN 074470800866
