Examines the political philosophy of James Burnham (1905‐87) and attempts to place him within the context of American conservatism. Focuses on his methodology, view of human nature, perception of change,and his thoughts on the State and society. Concludes that Burnham– who moved from being a Trotskyite to a neo‐conservative – does not fit into the two main American conservative traditions. His thought does not mesh comfortably with American libertarianism or American Burkeanism. James Burnham′s political philosophy is unique.
