Liberalism 101: Liberalism and Enlightenment
from Neon Liberalism · host Liberal Currents
Are you sad? Lonely? Can't get a girlfriend? The reactionary right promises a total philosophy of life—not just a politics, but a comprehensive way of living (and explaining why it's all the libs' fault). Can liberalism speak to the same anxieties? Host Samantha Hancox-Li argues that it can, but to understand why, we need to return to the roots of liberalism in the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and ultimately the ideas of freedom, reason, and responsibility.
