Send us a textThe Renaissance humanist Biondo Flavio dedicated his massive book Roma Triumphans, a historical investigation of what made Rome great, to his fellow humanist Pope Pius II. He contended that central to the story of Roman greatness was Roman religion, and that the Roman Catholic Church was the heir of the Roman Empire, correcting its faults even as it carried its legacy into the modern world. As James Hankins discusses in Virtue Politics, the main policy position that Biondo advocated for, in order for Europe to recapture the spirit of ancient Rome, was a renewal of the Crusades, so that the dominion of the Catholic Church could encompass the territory of the Roman Empire.James Hankins' Virtue Politics: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780674278738New Humanists episode on Irving Babbitt, feat.

Patrick Deneen is a professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame. Professor Deneen rose to prominence with his 2018 book Why Liberalism Failed. It drew a readership from the entire spectrum of American politics; from Cornel West, Jacobin Magazine and President Obama to the likes of Jonah Goldberg and George Will. The book drew praise and criticism alike as well as throwing a wrench in the smooth workings of the left-right divide of American intellectual life. He is a noted student of American democracy and shares many perspectives with one of its most noted observers and commenters, Alexis de Tocqueville. He visits our podcast to talk about his latest book, Regime Change - Towards a Postliberal future.A conservative who rejects both the dogma of Republican Party “freemarket” corporatism as well as libertarian atomism he instead advances the argument for a common good conservatism. Being branded simultaneously dangerous radical and nefarious reactionary Professor Deneen traces the common good doctrine back to the very foundations of America and ties it to a wider European tradition. If our post-liberal future is to have a chance it is time to slaughter sacred cows and do battle against all both the current political regime and the nihilism of those who say that nothing can be done.

Today, the political and social philosophy known as liberalism—which champions democracy, individual rights, and free enterprise—is on the defensive. Conservatives often charge it with eroding community, while some progressives view it as a justification for economic exploitation. On this episode, Yale political theorist Samuel Moyn, author of the new book Liberalism against Itself, joins features editor Alex Stern to discuss the debates that surrounded liberalism during the Cold War. Instead of a narrow liberalism that focuses on individual liberties, Moyn argues that a broader, more expansive view of the idea is possible—one that retrieves the original Enlightenment emphasis on egalitarianism and emancipation.

This is the first part of a discussion of Patrick Deneen's book Why Liberalism Failed, which addresses some of the assumptions taken for granted in Enlightenment Liberalism.
In his new book, Regime Change: Toward a Postliberal Future, renowned political philosopher Patrick Deneen argues that the liberal ideology that has shaped capitalism for centuries has also failed to deliver on its promises of freedom, equality, and prosperity. Is he able to offer a compelling alternative that serves the interests of the common good over those of wealthy elites?Deneen, whose previous book "Why Liberalism Failed" was acclaimed by the likes of former U.S. President Obama, joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss his proposed 'Regime Change' and its implications for capitalism and the market economy. Can his vision of a postliberal future offer a more just and sustainable economic system, one that addresses the pressing challenges of our time? Can we have progress without progressivism?
On this edition of Parallax Views, Samuel Moyn, Chancellor Kent Professor of Law and History at Yale University, joins the show to discuss his new book Liberalism Against Itself: Cold War Intellectuals and the Making of Our Times. Samuel examines and dissects the beliefs of Cold War intellectuals like Karl Popper, Judith Shklar, Gertrude Himmelfarb, Lionel Trilling, Isaiah Berlin, and Hannah Arendt to argue that liberals of the Cold War in many ways ended up undermining the progressive and Enlightenment principles of the liberal tradition in their attempts to combat communism. In doing so, he makes the case, they helped paved the way not only for modern equivalents/heirs of the Cold War liberalism like Anne Applebaum, Timothy Garton Ash, Paul Berman, Michael Ignatieff, Tony Judt, and Leon Wieseltierm, but also the reigning power of the current neoliberal order and the withering of the welfare state. A note that this conversation is talking about liberals and liberalism in a very academic sense rather than it's colloquial usage. Among the topics discussed are Judith Shklar's After Utopia (and why Shklar is a guiding force throughout Liberalism Against Itself), Sigmun Freud and the politics of self-regulations, decolonization and paternalisitic racism in the Cold War era, Jonathan Chait's scathing review of Liberalism Against Itself and Samuel's response to it (excluive, thus far, to this show), Patrick Deneen's Why Liberalism Failed and Samuel's critique of the burgeoning postliberal right, thoughts on Sohrab Ahmari's Tyranny Inc., Karl Popper of The Open Society and Its Enemies fame and the problem his critique of historicism, the Mont Pelerin Society and neoliberalism, F.A. Hayek, Gertrude Himmelfarb and the Christian thinker Lord Acton, the Cold War liberals' critique of romanticism and Samuel's response to it, the Soviet Union and the idea of Progress and who lays claim to it, the concept of emancipation and the French Revolution, and much, much more!

This week, Jonah Goldberg joins Eric, Dan, and Dylan to discuss his newly released review of Patrick Deneen's book, "Regime Change: Toward a Postliberal Future.” Following on the success, or at least the popularity, of his last book, “Why Liberalism Failed,” does Deneen have solutions to the problems he sees in modern society? Does his scholarship hold up under scrutiny? And is that the odor of Marxism exuding from the book—or is it just the choice to name the final chapter after the famous speech by Lenin? Is there more to it than that? (Narrator: “There's more to it than that.”) To close out, the guys comment on the passing of the novelist Cormac McCarthy and how his books understood and demonstrated the grotesque violence of man in a state of nature.Subscribe to our podcasts Patrick Deneen's Otherworldly Regime | Jonah Goldberg, Acton Institute Liberalism Isn't Rule by Elites | Stephanie Slade, Reason Magazine ‘I Don't Want to Violently Overthrow the Government.

Freddy Gray speaks to Patrick J. Deneen, who is a professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author of Why Liberalism Failed, and has just released a new book Regime Change.
Vocation is integral to God's design for human flourishing. We were created to work and created to worship, and the routines of church and work coexist to form us. Our worship rightly orients our work and teaches us, in the words of Jesus, to “remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine.” What is the impact of a life, grounded in Christ, as it enters the world of work?Autumn and Hunter are joined by special guest Alex Harris, an attorney and former Supreme Court clerk, to discuss the legal profession, the judiciary, and the impact of faithful, grounded presence in this realm of work.Resources mentioned in this episode:"A Non-Anxious Presence: How a Changing and Complex World Will Create a Remnant of Renewed Christian Leaders" by Mark Sayers (https://amazon.com/dp/0802428576)"Why Liberalism Failed" by Patrick Deneen (https://amazon.com/dp/0300240023)
Liberalism has failed because liberalism has succeeded. That's the thesis of Patrick Deneen's book, "Why Liberalism Failed." Liberalism redefined liberty as unrestrained individual autonomy free of what it saw as old, paternalistic constrains on individuals. Traditional norms and social structures that would foster virtue and self-control were seen as oppressive, arbitrary, out-of-date, and limiting "progress."Unrestrained individualism requires statism. Liberalism empowers the state to set the rules of behavior in a society---as liberalism destroys the traditional communal groups that set norms constraining individuals and preventing anarchy. As Deneen writes, "statism enables individualism; individualism demands statism."Both modern day "conservatives" and "liberals" are both liberals in a traditional sense. Conservatives, typically Republicans, are classical liberals. Neoliberals, Democrats, are progressive liberals. Both political parties are two sides of the same coin of liberalism. Conservatives defend individualism. Neoliberals defend statism. But liberalism advances both. You cannot have autonomous individuals---unconstrained by virtue and self-discipline---without increasing the power of the state.All the problems facing America today---the financial crisis, inflation, crime, open borders, transgenderism, climate alarmism, techno-fascism, unaccountable "deep state," subversion of citizenship, globalization and loss of jobs, breakdown of families and morality, government dependence, wokeness, engineered viruses and global pandemics, etc.---arise from the failure of liberalism (i.e., paradoxically, liberalism's achievement).The "noble lie" of liberalism has been exposed. The liberal elites---the hollow elite as the great Charles Murray calls them---continue to deny their privilege and virtue-signal with a veneer of social justice in the name of self-interest and self-preservation while the working class suffers. Previous ruling classes knew they were rich and privileged and acted like it. They understood they had a duty to help the less fortunate and to pass down the traits and behaviors that made them succeed because when everybody succeeds America succeeds. Modern liberal elites pretend they are victims and sufferers of great injustices while accumulating more and more wealth and power at the expense of everybody else. And all of that power is used to suppress, control, and neuter the voices and rights of the working class. We discuss the failure of liberalism, Deneen's book, Elon Musk acquiring Twitter; and connect the dots on this episode. Support the showAnd remember: No bias. No bull. No fear.

HEADLINE: Are We Postliberal Yet? by Michael Hanby The deepest problems with our political order are not themselves political but metaphysical and theological. FROM THE ARTICLE: The first is to indicate the nature, size, and scope of liberal order, without which it is impossible to understand its totalitarian character as a total interpretation of reality, the horizon within which other social facts are permitted to appear, that recreates everything in the image of its own fundamental assumptions. The second is to establish something of a backdrop for the ensuing discussion of “postliberalism,” about which there seems to be a good deal of confusion. Serious Catholic and Christian critiques of liberalism, for a long time roughly grouped together as “postliberal,” are in at least their second or third generation.[7] Patrick Deneen referred to this strain of thought in an early article before his breakthrough book, Why Liberalism Failed.[8] Mentored by this earlier generation of anti-liberal philosophers and theologians, I myself have been a critic of liberalism my entire career, though I have never used the term “postliberal” to describe my own thought. Nevertheless, this earlier strain of “postliberal” thought never succeeded in capturing the public, or even the ecclesial, imagination. Three things have transpired in recent years, however, to transform the situation. First, events have finally vindicated these earlier generations of critics, falsifying both the “fusionism” that synthesized social conservatism with libertarian economics as well as the Americanism of Catholic neo-conservatives, a distinction with little difference. FROM THE ARTICLE: Second, and partly as a consequence of the first, “postliberalism” has acquired that special sort of reality that can be conferred only by the attention of the American pundit class. A tree falling in the forest doesn't make a sound until the New York Times hears it, and it is only with the attention of a Ross Douthat, or a David Brooks, or even a Rod Dreher or Sohrab Ahmari that ideas achieve reality in the public consciousness.[9] Third and last, social media have made potential journalists and pundits of us all, thereby making this power to determine the boundaries of “the real” potentially available to anyone who can succeed in building a personal brand and establishing a following. In consequence of all this, “postliberalism” has burst into the public consciousness as a phenomenon in itself—a banner to march under for some, a dangerous but useful foil for others—exceeding the narrow genre of political philosophy or the theses of any given thinker. But what sort of phenomenon is this, and how should we understand it? We live in a world of indifference. Seek ye first the kingdom of God!
If there is a headline to the past half-decade, it's this: liberal democracy is under threat across the West and populist movements are on the march. There's Brexit in the UK. There's Viktor Orbán in Hungary. There's Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil. And in the United States, of course, there's Donald Trump. So today: a debate. Should we be fighting to preserve liberalism, the system that prizes our individual rights and the very foundation upon which America was built? Or is the system itself the problem? It's a high-stakes debate—the future of America and liberal democracy—and we couldn't have two better people for this conversation: Political Science Professor and author of the book, Why Liberalism Failed, Patrick Deneen; and New York Times opinion columnist Bret Stephens. Both Bret and Patrick are what people would label “conservatives,” but there is likely more disagreement between the two of them than between the average Democrat and Republican. Bret believes the problems we see today are happening because we have lost too much of our individual freedom. Patrick, on the other hand, believes that having so much freedom has actually damaged us– that our problems are caused precisely by the system that puts individual liberty on a pedestal.

But even so, there's a pervasive feeling among conservatives that progressives are using their unprecedented institutional power — in universities, in Hollywood, in the mainstream media, in the C-suites of tech companies — to wage war on traditional ways of life. And many of them have come to believe that the only viable response is to fight back against these advances at all costs. It's impossible to understand the policies, leaders, rhetoric and tactics of the populist right without first trying to inhabit this worldview. That is why, for this second conversation in our series “The Rising Right,” I wanted to speak with Deneen. He is a professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame, and his 2018 book, “Why Liberalism Failed,” has become a touchstone within the conservative intelligentsia and was even fairly well received by liberals. But since then, Deneen's writing has come to express something closer to total political war. And with three other professors, he recently started a Substack newsletter, “The Postliberal Order,” to build the kind of intellectual and political project needed to fight that war. This is a conversation about what Deneen's “postliberal” political project looks like — and the tensions and contradictions it reveals about the modern populist right. We discuss (and debate) Deneen's view that conservatives keep losing, why he believes the left is hostile to the family, whether America needs stricter divorce laws, what the post-liberal right would actually do with power, the virtues and vices of policy analysis, whether post-liberals have built their core arguments around an invented straw man liberalism, Joe Biden's agenda for families and much more.

A few years ago Francis Fukuyama would have said: nothing. Today neither he, nor any other serious thinker would say that liberalism is the summit and endpoint of human history. However, the decline of a certain worldview or ideology doesn't necessarily mean that it failed - or does it? Patrick Deneen, Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame and author of "Why Liberalism Failed" argues that liberalism actually failed because it succeeded. We also talked about populism, the idea of Christian liberty, the nature of the new aristocracy and his new book project. Host: Péter Heltai, Editor, Corvinak.hu, MCC.---------------------------Mi jön a liberalizmus után?Néhány éve Francis Fukuyama azt mondta volna: semmi. Ma már sem ő, sem pedig semmilyen más komoly gondolkodó nem állítaná, hogy a liberalizmus lenne az emberi történelem csúcs- és végpontja. Mindenesetre egy világnézet vagy ideológia hanyatlása nem szükségszerűen jelenti annak bukását is - vagy mégis? Patrick Deneen, a Notre Dame Egyetem politikatudomány professzora és "A liberalizmus kudarca" című sikerkönyv szerzője úgy véli a liberalizmus pontosan azért bukott el, mert sikeres lett. A beszélgetésben szóba került még a populizmus, a keresztény szabadságeszményről, az új arisztokráciák természete és új, készülő könyve is. Házigazda: Heltai Péter, a Corvinák.hu főszerkesztője, MCC.

Many of us change positions throughout our lives; political, philosophical, and religious. I have spent considerable time on this podcast discussing my journey from atheism to theism, and eventually right on through to Catholicism. I have, however, also hinted occasionally at my development in political thought, from liberal, to libertarian, and, finally, to common good conservatism. This episode -- in which I am joined by Dr. Tyler McNabb (bio and website here)-- details some of the arguments against liberal political philosophy (and especially libertarianism) that we ultimately found convincing, before we turn to an interesting new article published by McNabb entitled By Who's Authority: A Political Argument for God's Existence, which critiques secular frameworks for grounding political authority and provides a plausible theistic alternative. Please enjoy. Mentioned Resources/Related Episodes We mentioned Patrick Deneen's excellent book Why Liberalism Failed. Also, What Is Marriage? Too, Michael Huemer's book The Problem of Political Authority. And finally, Tyler's book on religious epistemology. Edward Feser (who we mentioned in the episode) explains why he departed libertarianism, as well, and offers further critiques, here. Brian Besong offers a great introductory text to traditional natural law theory; and the Cambridge Companion is fantastic, as well. Tim Hsaio provides a critique of consent-based ethical theory. https://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/sunday-school-from-agnosticism-to-catholicism-with-dr-tyler-mcnabb/ https://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/the-philosophical-approach-to-god-with-dr-robert-koons/ The Pat Flynn Show If you enjoyed this episode, it would mean the world to me if you could subscribe to, and leave a review for, The Pat Flynn show on iTunes HERE or Stitcher HERE.

Deneen is the author of Why Liberalism Failed, published in 2018. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In light of the increasing tensions apparent in liberal societies, is liberalism an inherently contradictory system whose success generates its own downfall? Patrick Deneen elaborates on the argument of his new book Why Liberalism Failed and Vincent Phillip Muñoz responds.This panel discussion, co-sponsored by The Portsmouth Institute and The University Bookman, took place in the Spring of 2019.
Det här avsnittet av Signumpodden gästas av Patrick Deneen, som är professor i statsvetenskap vid University of Notre Dame i USA och som har skrivit den uppmärksammade boken Why Liberalism Failed. En bok som har väckt mycket debatt i hemlandet och som nu är på väg att översättas till en rad europeiska språk. I boken för Deneen ett lika enkelt som snyggt resonemang: liberalismen har misslyckats för att den har lyckats. Den tidigare presidenten Barack Obama har sagt om boken, att den ”erbjuder övertygande insikter om den förlust av mening och gemenskap som många i västvärlden upplever idag, problem som de liberala demokratierna ignorerar på egen risk”. I intervjun beskriver Deneen bland annat liberalismen som en form av anti-kultur, samt liberalismens effekter på hur vi ser på utbildning. Samtalet kretsar också mycket kring det som är Deneens mest centrala kritik av liberalismen, nämligen att det bygger på en falsk människosyn.
Frågan om liberalismen har misslyckats har debatterats den senaste tiden – inte bara i Sverige utan i stora delar av Västvärlden. Nyligen gästade professorn i politisk filosofi vid University of Notre Dame utanför Chicago, Patrick Deneen Sverige på inbjudande av THS. Hans bok "Why Liberalism Failed" (2018) har skapat stor uppmärksamhet då den enligt många ger en viktig analys över liberalismens kris. Han gästar Second Opinion för ett samtal om det liberala projekt

On this week's episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon Van Maren discusses the future of conservatism with Dr. Patrick Deneen, a professor at Notre Dame University. Deneen has a background in Constitutional Studies and Political Theory. He was a speechwriter and special advisor to the Director of the United States Information Agency. He's been an associate professor of Government at Georgetown University and Princeton University before joining the faculty at Notre Dame in 2012. He has written several books and a number of articles focusing on the history of American political thought. His 2018 book called, “Why Liberalism Failed” is all about these topics. The thesis of “Why Liberalism Failed” can be shoved into a nutshell of, “liberalism is failing because liberalism is succeeding.” Deneen provides clarity in the definitions of conservatism and liberalism. He explains that there's been confusion in what we typically call conservatism in the United States. Deneen suggests that we might more appropriately call conservatives, “classical liberals.” He goes on to say that, “we need to understand there are two variants or versions of liberalism itself.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
“The freer we are, the less we feel we control the mechanisms of our liberty and individuality.” — Patrick Deneen It’s no secret to our regular readers that Strong Towns founder and president Chuck Marohn is an avid reader. In fact, every December, Chuck shares a list of highly recommended books from the year that’s winding down—and in 2018, at the top of his list was Why Liberalism Failed by University of Notre Dame political scientist Patrick Deneen. If partisan alarm bells (or a partisan cheering section) just started ringing in your head, hold up—Deneen is not talking about liberalism in the sense of the modern left-right divide. He means liberalism in the sense of “the liberal Enlightenment,” or as Deneen puts it in this week’s episode of the Strong Towns Podcast, “the philosophical political project of modernity.” The centuries-long liberal project treats society as a collection of autonomous individuals, and governments as social compacts whose primary purpose is to protect individual rights. Think, for example, of the Declaration of Independence: “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” The promise of liberalism is to free individuals from each other: from the tribal, religious, and communal bonds that once ruled our lives. The problem, according to Deneen, is that there is a paradox at the heart of that project. The freer we are from traditional social structures, the more powerful and encompassing must be the two mechanisms modern humans have invented to free us from those structures: the state and the market. To the extent that there is a crisis of liberalism today—and the evidence for that lies in the political turmoil facing many Western countries—Deneen believes it may be because we feel more powerless than ever to meaningfully control or affect the course of either of those entities. Many of us treat national politics as largely a spectator sport, are cynical about the relevance or impact of voting or activism, and harbor a pervasive sense that market forces, far from bring shared prosperity, are leaving many of our communities behind as well. What’s the answer? Deneen has no five-point plan. But he does urge us to take a hard look at the value of community—of living lives that are embedded in a place, and not shying from the interpersonal obligation that this entails. Elite culture in America teaches us to “look for the exits,” says Deneen, but there is value and meaning to be found in forging the deep bonds of community in the place you are rooted, even when that is an uncomfortable or self-sacrificing thing to do. Deneen has his critics, but both his argument and its critiques fall outside of well-worn partisan ground. There is plenty here worth listening to and considering for Strong Towns advocates interested in the kind of localist revolution we talk often about: building deeply resilient, prosperous places from the ground up, through local action, without depending on either Washington or Wall Street for deliverance. In This Podcast 4:25 What is the nature of the liberal project, and how does it relate to the idea of the autonomous individual as the basis of society? 8:45 We often think of society as polarized between left and right, liberals and conservatives, pro-state and pro-market forces. If we instead identify both the state and the market as centralizing, depersonalizing forces, what’s the alternative to this centralizing force? 11:50 What does the movie It’s A Wonderful Life teach us about community, and do the assumptions about the world reflected in the film still make sense today? 16:40 What does it entail to find meaning in life by taking on boundaries and commitments to others, instead of by aspiring “to be the self-making self, to be the architect, to have the grand end?” 20:25 “What if you’re different?” What if you’re a member of a minority group, for example, that has found protection from persecution thanks to greater state involvement in communities? 24:20 Our society is increasingly defined by economic winners and losers. Is America moving toward a new aristocracy? 30:30 What is the role of loyalty to place and community in a post-liberal vision of the future? How does that square with a world in which the upwardly mobile are often told the best thing you can do is get out of your hometown and don’t look back? 35:35 How does the degradation of the idea of citizenship reflect the unaccountability of the centralized state? Why is it so hard to get people civically engaged, even at the local level? 42:10 What’s the answer? As individuals who want to see our communities become more stable and prosperous and successful, what are some of the things that we can do? “George Bailey [from It’s a Wonderful Life], in today’s world, would not stay in Bedford Falls. He’d be the first person to get out, go off to Harvard, get a job in finance, live his life in the suburbs of NYC, and retire and die in Florida. He would never go back the Bedford Falls. Having a sense of loyalty is to say, I have some kind of obligation to this place, and in return, this place has some kind of obligation to me.”
In today's episode, Coyle and Ed discuss the poliical theorist, Patrick Deneen's book, Why Liberalism Failed. Deneen argues that our current political turmoil are not rooted in this or that problem of our political parties, but rather in liberalism as such. Liberalism has failed, not because of accidents of history, or the particular development of liberal political institutions, but precisely because liberalism has stayed true to itself. Coyle and Ed discuss Deneen's argument and the extent to which the political philosophy of liberalism is inevitably in decline.
In this episode, we look at Why Liberalism Failed by Patrick Deneen. In particular, we examine Deneen's claim that fundamental to liberalism is a rejection of the constraints imposed upon us by nature, and the attempt to overcome those constraints through science, technology, and the destruction of culture's symbiosis with nature. We also examine Deneen's ideas about what comes after liberalism.more at www.neofusionist.com
Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values
Saving Elephants has got your summer reading list covered! In this episode Josh walks through classic, foundational books that every conservative should read, as well as some great books that speak to Millennials in particular. Ranging from pithy and digestible to massive, complex, and dry, Josh gives a brief outline of the book and shares why it’s important to understanding conservatism. While summer is traditionally reserved for light reading, it can also be the perfect time of year to tear into something quite challenging. Reading hard books—if they’re good books—can sharpen our minds and develop our character. Even reading of people with strong character can develop our character. As Russell Kirk put it, “Reading of great lives does something to make decent lives.” Here is the list of the books and authors referenced throughout the episode Edmund Burke, British statesman and the “Father of Conservatism”: Reflections on the Revolution in France Russell Kirk, political theorist, moralist, historian, social critic, and literary critic: The Conservative Mind Concise Guide to Conservatism Ten Conservative Principles Barry Goldwater, Senator and 1964 Republican nominee for president: Conscience of a Conservative Roger Scruton, English philosopher: How to be a Conservative Irving Kristol, journalist and the “Godfather of Neoconservatism”: Neo-Conservatism Patrick Deneen, political theorist: Why Liberalism Failed Thomas Sowell, economist and social theorist: Black Rednecks and White Liberals A Conflict of Visions Basic Economics Jonah Goldberg, columnist, author, commentator, podcaster: Suicide of the West Timothy Carney, journalist and editor: Alienated America Ben Sasse, Senator: Them Joseph Sternberg, journalist: The Theft of a Decade S.

Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong
In the first half of my discussion of Patrick Deneen's "Why Liberalism Failed," I examine the structure of Deneen's argument, tracing his effort to connect present-day crises in education, science, culture, and morality to the fundamental flaws in "liberalism," which he calls the "operating system" of modern Western society, and which he claims has left us isolated, lonely, and afraid, with our social system possibly on the brink of collapse into a totalitarian nightmare.

Liberalism, write Patrick Deneen, "has been for modern Americans like water for a fish, an encompassing political ecosystem in which we have swum, unaware of its existence.” Deneen, a political theorist at Notre Dame, isn’t talking about the liberalism of the left, the liberalism of Elizabeth Warren or Nancy Pelosi. He’s talking about the liberalism that drives both the left and the right, the one that elevates individual flourishing over groups, families, places, nature. That’s the liberalism that is wrecking our societies and our happiness, Deneen says, and while the left and the right often disagree on how to achieve it, they're both disastrously bought into its core ideas. Deneen’s book, Why Liberalism Failed, has become a quiet sensation, gaining plaudits from conservative pundits and even showing up on Barack Obama’s reading list. His is a radical critique, and while I disagree with much of it, the things it gets right are important. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Political Scientist and author Patrick Deneen of the University of Notre Dame talks about his book Why Liberalism Failed with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. By liberalism, Deneen means the modern enterprise--the push for self-actualization free of the constraints of tradition, family, and religion that typifies modern culture. He argues that both the left and the right have empowered the state and reduced liberty. He argues for a smaller, more local, more artisanal economy and a return to the virtues of self-control and self-mastery.
Brian Jones (Ph.D. Candidate at the Center for Thomistic Studies) presents his paper "Is the Enlightenment Working? Considerations from Alexis de Tocqueville." In light of recent defenses (e.g. Steven Pinker's "Enlightenment Now!", Jonah Goldberg's "Suicide of the West") and critiques (Patrick Deneen's "Why Liberalism Failed") of enlightenment liberalism, Mr. Jones argues the ultimate fruit of enlightenement liberalism has been the atomization society, leading to a sense of isolation and meaninglessness. Mr. Jones has been published in New Blackfriars, Crisis, Catholic World Report, HPR, and Catholic Social Science Review. This talk was given at the Center for Thomistic Studies on May 4, 2018. The Center for Thomistic Studies, located at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX, is the only graduate program in the United States uniquely dedicated to the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas.

A Pilgrimage Renewed: Life as a Christian in Post-liberal America - Dr. Patrick Deneen, University of Notre Dame Recorded live at The Camp House in Chattanooga, TN on March 20, 2018. Abstract The American political order has entered a new phase, comparable to the long period of decline experienced by Rome after its peak of power.
