Why Postliberalism Failed

Religion EN ↓ 27 episodes

Why Postliberalism Failed is a podcast that critiques the recent rise of interest in Catholic integralism and rightwing authoritarianism. James M. Patterson (Ave Maria) and Thomas Howes (Princeton) take the listener through the logical fallacies, theological errors, historical disasters, and political violence that has defined various “postliberal” regimes—all of which failed. They also connect these discussions to the rapid rise of postliberal ideas into rightwing politics in America and elsewhere in the world.

I talk to Tom about the conspiracy theory that many nineteenth century European reactionaries believed in and how it haunts contemporary efforts of articulating a new postliberalism that does not want to repeat the moral and political failures of the older efforts.

Introductions and Overview 08.07.2024
