A basic book on the deep meaning of order, edges on worldview

The Roots of American Order by Russell Kirk is a serious book worth looking into owning. One of those books on foundational things worth sitting on a short shelf of books with the Bible. The word American in the title doesn't limit it's subject matter to one country. It follows the five cities approach to the history of western civilization: Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, Philadelphia. Permanent ideas that make the foundation of what might be called good householder culture and civilization. The type of knowledge and understanding you want in your soul.
