Hyperionides. A Conservative Review of Current Affairs, is intended for people who have a high level of interest in current affairs, are generally well-informed, and choose to think independently. Hyperionides, meaning "son of Hyperion", is an epithet of Helios, the Greek Sun-god. The review appeals to opening rather than to closing the intellectual discussion. Therefore, despite a small-c "conservative" orientation, it eschews having any particular political line. Rather, it re-invigorates the old style of discourse, where the content of ideas mattered more than formulaic declarations intended to demonstrate one's moral superiority. The contents of No 1 exemplify the sort of thing that the review seeks to publish.
