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?
