Makale, modern siyasal düşünce içerisinde önemli bir yer işgal eden muhafazakâr siyasal düşünceler üzerine odaklanmaktadır. Her bir siyasal düşünce kümesinin anlamı kurmak ve sabitlemek üzere kendine özgü bir fark rejimi yarattığı düşüncesinden hareketle, çalışmada öncelikle anlam ve fark arasındaki ilişki betimlenmekte, ardından fark rejimi kavramıyla ne kastedildiği açıklandıktan sonra muhafazakâr fark rejimi üzerine bir soruşturma yürütülmektedir. Örneklerle bu fark rejimi anlatıldıktan sonra, sonuç bölümünde bu fark rejiminin ele alınan düşünüş şeklinin izlediği siyasalar açısından ne gibi sonuçlar doğurduğu tartışılmaktadır.
