		Richard Weaver: Historian of the South by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.
		Along with Russell Kirk and Robert Nisbet, Richard Weaver was one of the most influential intellectuals of the postwar conservative renascence in America.
		Weaver observed with sorrow that "somewhere along the path of events the French revolutionary theory of the people as a unitary whole, governing in the interest of the whole without restrictions on its power, had seeped into the political thinking of some Americans.

		Weaver, along with Russell Kirk, Whittaker Chambers, James Burnham, Friedrich A. Hayek, and Ludwig von Mises, often are identified as the intellectual founders of the postwar conservative intellectual movement.
		Weaver’s reply is that this position assumes “that there are sources closer to the truth than are the schools and that the schools merely act as their agents.
		Weaver was authentic in the original sense of the term.”84 Weaver had the courage to stick to his core of values and his own vision, even when they were unpopular: “What he wrote was designed to please no one’s fancy but only.

	Foss, Foss, Trapp Chap. 3 Richard M. Weaver
		Weaver argued strongly that these two, the dialectic and rhetoric were powerful and effective if used together, but disastrous if used apart.
		In summarizing Weaver's views of rhetoric and it's relationship with humanity, it is clear that the crux of his argument centers around his belief in man's quest for the ideal and the strategic role that both knowledge (dialectic) and modes of presentation (rhetoric) play in that quest.
		Weaver presents rhetoric as a powerful tool acknowledging that it can be used for evil, but counting on the innate righteousness of mankind to use it for good.

		Weaver claimed that his Southern homeland was the "last non-materialistic civilization in the Western world." The article goes on to explain why he feels this way and puts a pinpoint on Weaver's eternal optimism whenever "Southern matters" were mentioned.
		Weaver believed that "rhetoric should rest on a firm moral and intellectual foundation," and attributed the continuance of the Christian culture to the power of rhetoric.
		Weaver believes that rhetoric is not taught as the art of speaking truthfully, but rather as the art of speaking usefully.

	Intercollegiate Studies Institute - Programs - Richard Weaver Fellowship
		Scholar, historian of ideas, and rhetorician, Richard M. Weaver (1910–1963) was deeply concerned with the decline of liberal arts education in America.
		The Weaver Fellowship Program is maintained exclusively for those who will teach, for that profession presents the greatest opportunity to deal with the first concerns of civilization, and thus with its ultimate preservation.
		The Weaver Fellowship Program assists future teachers who are motivated, as was Professor Weaver, by the need to integrate the idea of liberal education with their teaching efforts, and, in so doing, to restore to university studies their distinction and worth.

	The Old Cause by Joseph Stromberg
		Weaver was a great critic of modern society – its modes of speaking and thinking, its approach to warfare, its abandonment of real education in favor of Deweyism and worse.
		Weaver was convinced that among the abiding sins of modernism, as practised since before the French Revolution, were the inability to make real distinctions about anything, relativism, and an obsession with method (technique), all adding up to refusal to take the ontological order as real.
		For Weaver, the decline of religiousness of any deep sort was central to the unraveling of Western Man. But he did not write about theology, as such, and there is much that even secularists interested in liberty (and related matters) can learn from him.

		Similarly, Weaver says that the surest measure of someone's political philosophy is to examine "the type of argument he [or she] prefers" (112).
		Weaver concludes that Burke's rhetoric, "grounded in the nature of a situation," is liberal (83).
		Weaver admits that everyone, being a part of historical reality, must at one time or another use this form of argument, though he associates it with "sensational" arguments used by pragmatic politicians and advertisers ("Language" 214-15).

	Richard Weaver at the 2003 National Prayer Breakfast; also, The Rev. at the 2001 Inauguration

		Weaver seems more and more a prophet, although what he really did was to give careful heed to the logical implications of the philosophical errors of his day.
		Weaver believed that "a free society is by definition a pluralistic one" where "there are many different centers of authority, influence, and opinion, competing with one another, arguing with one another,… and producing a great variety, richness, and animation" ("Responsible Rhetoric," p.

		Secondly, Weaver, along with Russell Kirk, was one of the founders of the traditionalist wing of the post World War 11 conservative movement.
		Weaver felt that a country that practices ‘total war’ abroad is not likely to grant many liberties to its own citizens --- a point Old Right conservatives have made countless times throughout the years.
		What Weaver had to say about man's nature, that his life is a grand struggle where his soul was at stake; what he said about culture, that it is something more satisfying to us than anything the political state might construct, remains permanent and enduring.

		Weaver’s conundrum, a conflict of “feelings,” was not a propitious start for a philosopher/rhetorician who would lead the charge against the statist barricades.
		Weaver understood the pernicious effects of Original Sin, that man’s nature, while created good, is now corrupted, disposed more toward doing evil than doing good, and that this condition could not be relieved until man became subservient to God’s Will and abandoned man’s will.
		And, for Weaver, as Malvasi points out, the best evidence of this “resilience” was the Southern people who, “Trusting in God to bless and keep them and their loved ones,...

		Weaver vigorously defended the inviolable right to private property, naming it “the last metaphysical right.” He used this nomenclature to emphasize that the right to private property exists independently from, if not regardless of, its social utility.
		Weaver believed that property constitutes a great source for personal growth because of the inalienable bond between a person’s labor and property.
		Weaver also noted that the ownership of private property can serve as a check on the pressures of majority opinion, allowing anyone to think and to act as he or she chooses without having to appease the majority opinion to secure a place to live or food to eat.
