When did liberalism die?
Perhaps on June 16, 2015, when Donald J. Trump descended the golden escalator? On January 20, 2025, when he was sworn in for a second term?
Or maybe the death of liberalism has been exaggerated . . . but it is certainly teetering.
In his landmark 2018 book Why Liberalism Failed, political theorist Patrick J. Deneen offered an incisive post-mortem on liberalism.
Then, in his 2023 book Regime Change, he outlined the most compelling path forward, which is, it turns out, actually a path back: a return to a truer and better liberty that rests on virtue and self-government.
On February 13 at 6 p.m., Deneen will make his latest contribution to the postliberal conversation in the inaugural Neuhaus Lecture at the New College of Florida’s Sainer Auditorium: “We Are All Postliberals Now.”
Tickets to the lecture are free with a suggested donation of $25. Sponsorships are available for donations of $1,000 or more.
