039: Finding Meaning In Liberalism (w/ Akiva Malamet)

from ReImagining Liberty · host Aaron Ross Powell

Today’s conversation is a companion to our prior episode. I’m joined again by Akiva Malamet, managing editor of The UnPopulist.Last time we talked about identity within liberalism. Now we turn to meaning. Everyone wants to lead a meaningful life, but one of the critiques of liberalism is that a liberal society takes away traditional sources of meaning, and so leaves its citizens feeling detached, either unable to find meaning, or seeking it in frivolous, and so ultimately unmeaningful, pursuits. How compelling is this objection? And what should we, as liberals, do about it?ReImagining Liberty is an independent show. If you enjoy it, consider becoming a supporter.
