From Notre Dame professor and author of Why Liberalism Failed comes a provocative call for replacing the tyranny of the self-serving liberal elite with conservative leaders aligned with the interests of the working classClassical liberalism promised to overthrow the old aristocracy, creating an order in which individuals could create their own identities and futures. To some extent it did—but it has also demolished the traditions and institutions that nour...

Delle tre ideologie dominanti del XX secolo – fascismo, comunismo e liberalismo – ormai rimane solo l’ultima. Ciò ha contribuito a creare una situazione particolare in cui i sostenitori del liberalismo tendono a dimenticare che si tratta, appunto, di un’ideologia, non del naturale sviluppo dell’evoluzione politica umana. Come sostiene Patrick J. Deneen in questo libro provocatorio, il liberalismo si fonda su una serie di contraddizioni: reclama uguali diritti, ma al tempo stesso produce un...

Il liberalismo aveva promesso di rovesciare la vecchia aristocrazia creando un ordine in cui gli individui potessero definire la propria identità e il proprio futuro. In una certa misura ci è riuscito ma ha anche demolito le tradizioni e le istituzioni che sostenevano la gente comune come la famiglia, il matrimonio, la religione, la comunità locale creando una nuova e oppressiva classe dirigente. In Cambio di regime Patrick J. Deneen esamina la tradizione occidentale e sostiene che dobbiam...

Has liberalism failed because it has succeeded?Of the three dominant ideologies of the twentieth century—fascism, communism, and liberalism—only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism’s proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal righ...

Der Liberalismus ist gescheitert, weil er gesiegt hat. Das ist Patrick J. Deneens wichtigste These. Je erfolgreicher der Liberalismus wurde, desto stärker hat er seine Selbstwidersprüche offenbart: Er war angetreten für größere Gleichheit, für kulturellen Pluralismus, den Schutz der menschlichen Würde und die Erweiterung der Freiheit. In Wahrheit hat er nun zu titanischer Ungleichheit geführt, zu materiellem und geistigem Verfall und der Unterhöhlung der Freiheit. Diese Symptome mit noch m...

Das três ideologias dominantes do século XX – fascismo, comunismo e liberalismo –, apenas o liberalismo resiste. Isso criou uma situação peculiar: os proponentes do liberalismo tendem a esquecer que este é uma ideologia, e não o estado final natural da evolução política. Como defende Patrick J. Deneen neste livro provocador, o liberalismo fundamenta-se em uma série de contradições: advoga igualdade de direitos enquanto promove uma desigualdade material sem precedentes; a sua legitimidade b...

This path-breaking and eloquent analysis of The Odyssey, and the way it has been interpreted by political philosophers throughout the centuries, has dramatic implications for the current state of political thought. This important book offers readers original insights into The Odyssey and it provides a new understanding of the classic works of Plato, Rousseau, Vico, Horkheimer, and Adorno. Through his analysis Patrick J. Deneen requires readers to rethink the issues that a...

A 20. századot három nagy ideológia rendszer jellemezte: a fasizmus, a kommunizmus és a liberalizmus. Közölük mára csak az utóbbi maradt fenn.E kivételezett helyzetben a liberalizmus képviselői hajlamosak elfelejteni, hogy a liberalizmus is csak egy ideológia, nem pedig a politikai fejlődés végpontja, a demokrácia valamiféle csúcsteljesítménye.Patrick J. Deneen provokatív könyvében amellett érvel, hogy a liberalizmus eleve ellentmondásos képződmény: egyenlő jogokat hirdet, m...

„Jelen könyv célja, hogy a liberalizmus ikszedik bírálata mellett megfesse a posztliberális jövő pozitív és reményteljes vízióját. A […] liberalizmus nem csupán megbukott, de a »kevesek« és »sokak« közötti ősi szakadék egy különösen széles és mély változatát hozta létre. A következő oldalakon amellett érvelek, hogy a válasz nem a liberális – legyen szó annak »jobbos« vagy »balos« válfajáról – »megoldások« ismételt felmelegítésében, hanem a »vegyes alkotmány« ókori hagyományának újrafelfede...

This is a robust and relevant collection from a truly distinguished group of political theorists actively rethinking the promise and perils of democracy. The book is coherent in its focus on a common theme and aim: to advance and refine the political project of promoting democratic theory and practice. While the contributors are admirers of the promotion of various models of democracy they also express distinct approaches and concerns. Each builds on and expands the central theme of democr...

Science, Virtue, and the Future of Humanity addresses each of the key public policy issues of our techno-future from the perspective of deeply informed and philosophically inclined public intellectuals. Among the issues addressed are the detachment of our idea of justice from any credible foundation; Tocqueville’s prescience on how a “cognitive elite” might be the aristocracy to be most feared in our time; robotization and the possibility of being ruled by morally challenged robots; organ ...
