Ever since the twin 2016 earthquakes of President Donald Trump's election and the United Kingdom's vote to implement Brexit, the world of political theory has been in flux. While the ongoing debate between nationalism and globalism continues unabated, that debate has a cousin: liberalism versus post-liberalism. Just as traditionalist nationalists and new-age neoliberals publicly duke it out over the best way to organize global affairs, so too is there an ongoing intellectual battle between those who defend the achievements of the broader post-Enlightenment tradition and those who claim we are now living through its traumatic unraveling.
This week, Patrick J. Deneen, professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame and author of Why Liberalism Failed, debates Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, an American Enterprise Institute fellow and author of Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism, and Identity Politics Is Destroying American Democracy. We are exceedingly proud to present a Debate between two such prominent spokesmen for their respective positions.
Josh Hammer, Newsweek opinion editor, is also a syndicated columnist and of counsel at First Liberty Institute.
