Episode 18—Keeping Locke in the Locke Box with Richard Reinsch

If we’re made for this world, shouldn't technology make us happy?
 
But it doesn’t, does it? At least that's what Richard Reinsch says.
 
In this episode, Reinsch describes how Tocqueville, Walker Percy, and Peter Lawler have shaped his understanding of the postmodern condition. In this far-reaching conversation, he also shares insight on:
 

• Why Peter Lawler viewed postmodernity as a good thing—one which could illuminate fundamental truths about our human condition
   
• How Critical Race Theory attests to a deeply human religious longing for transcendence
   
• What conservatives always need to keep in mind as they feel nostalgia for the past

 
It’s a deep—and deeply accessible—conversation. And you can hear it right here.

Episode 19—Michael Knowles, William F. Buckley Jr., and Political Correctness

Many conservatives today just don’t get it, Michael Knowles argues.
 
They’re digging up the corpses of Buckley and Reagan—neglecting the fundamentally religious dimension of political conflict today—and ceding FAR too much ground to the woke left by clinging to amoral tolerance and free expression.
 
It’s a provocative episode. And in it, you’ll hear more about:

• The book that really launched the conservative movement
   
• Why most conservatives are completely wrong about the battle between free speech and censorship
   
• What you can—and must—learn from looking at college campuses today

 
Knowles is one of the leading figures for the next generation of conservatives. Hear this important conversation now!
