Postliberal Order

Progressive elites in Brussels know they’re close to defeat. They’re desperate. They hope that by defeating Orbán this April, they’ll defeat Trump too, and win a new lease for their liberal empire. Read @philippilk's latest article in @PostlibOrder ⬇️ postliberalorder.com/p/why-the-hung…

An important piece by @philippilk furthering a line of argument developed also by @Vermeullarmine. Textualism is a Trojan horse and not the remedy to liberal judicial activism. Only natural law and the traditional Western metaphysics that underlies it can do the job.

“We’re settling into our Thanksgiving days,” I tell a friend from Europe, explaining that it entails “a great amount of cooking, and eating, and mostly doing nothing for a few days.” I try to explain that it is an important kind of “laying fallow” in American culture which specifically calls us to give thanks to God for giving us a homeland. Perhaps some take America for granted. Some will be tempted to despair, others will not have enough faith to know Whom to thank for anything. But I tend to think that most Americans will at least think about God as the cause of all good things — but especially they might think about God as the cause of the common goodness of the American thing. The thought of the Res Americana might pluck some mystic chord of gratitude within them between all the preparations and feasting. We owe God so much more than this, of course, but suffice it to say that I tried to communicate to my friend how Thanksgiving reminds us who we are as a people. It’s both deeply Christian and deeply American at once. Our next 250 years depends on how this day orients us. These fallow days inscribe in us a civic awareness that Christianity is not only an essential makeweight against disorder in the soul, the family, the nation, civilization itself — it’s also ennobling, it elevates. It’s like a grace which operates on us, and we Americans should lean into it.

.@FeserEdward reflects on how liberalism erodes the virtue of gratitude, yet Thanksgiving actually reconnects us with the politics of virtue necessary for building a postliberal order. Read it today, only in @PostlibOrder ⬇️ postliberalorder.com/p/the-politics…

In a new essay at @PostlibOrder, I recall the late John Searle’s critique of deconstructionism and postmodernism more generally, which were major influences on today’s woke ideologies: postliberalorder.com/p/the-demise-o…

My latest article at @PostlibOrder defends a postliberal middle ground position between free trade dogmatism and rigid protectionism, and argues that sound trade policy depends more on circumstances and prudential judgment than appeal to abstract principle postliberalorder.com/p/in-defense-o…
