… in regards to your comment concerning the “vast amount of narratives”… In his book Ideas Have Consequences Richard Weaver introduces an idea that he called “The Great Stereopticon”. The Great Stereopticon (Chapter 5) offers an idea or two about the conditions that might generate the situation we find ourselves in today (in the midst of a plethora of narratives). Given that Ideas Have Consequence was written in 1948 it is, all in all, a pretty prescient work. See also C.S. Lewis’ The Abolition of Man for similar ideas.
While this book and author are often name dropped as being seminal to and seminal text for what we know as “the conservative movement” I would argue that neither is the case. As text It is far from being merely an “ideological text”.
