Political conservatism often draws inspiration from the works of Edmund Burke. "Burkean conservatism" is a philosophy that accepts that society will inevitably grow and evolve, but is skeptical of the ability of human beings to understand and intelligently guide society as it changes.
A Burkean is therefore reluctant to embrace new social policies, new norms, and new ways of living. Burkean conservatives argue that things should stay as they are now, or at least that they should change slowly.
