/546/ Reading Club: Are We All Post-Liberal Now? ft. Geoff Shullenberger
from Bungacast · host Bungacast
On postliberalism, MacIntyre and Gray. How was the 1950s "end of ideology" (Bell, Lipset) different from the Fukuyaman 1990s "end of history"? Is John Gray correct in his characterisation of Alasdair MacIntyre as a prelapsarian? Does hyperliberal individualism lead to a search for meaning, and thus to communitarianism? Is the competition between liberalism and post-liberalism now our political spectrum? Is contemporary liberalism now reducible to professionalisation of the state and civil society? If liberalism has failed – a basic point of this podcast from the start – has post-liberalism now also failed?
