From the post: “The Founders drew upon a moral order that is not made but discovered.” (Robinson, The Great Ideas of Philosophy, Lecture 51)
IMHO, this means our underlying moral order does not care about our feelings. It is not important to discover (or even express) our feelings about our system of government. Reason must prevail.
This is the best description of what is happening around us here in America I have ever read. These truths are under serious threat. The threat grows daily. We have many captured systems… educational, political, social, civil, etc. I would like to do more to defend the Founding Fathers understanding, at a minimum I make sure to teach my own children these important truths.
