This thesis is a comprehensive investigation of Russell Kirk's doctrine of the Moral Imagination. It focuses especially on the nature of the Moral Imagination as integrative and non-reductionist, or what Kirk sometimes describes as illative. It explores Kirk's develop of this concept as one through which the individual can grasp his fully human nature and dignity, and which makes use of all the important areas of human social interactions and all the human faculties of knowing, providing man with immersive moral knowledge and support. The thesis is significant for its unique focus on Kirk's Christian humanist influences - especially T. S. Eliot, Christopher Dawson, G. K. Chesterton, and C. S. Lewis.
