Regime Change: Towards a Postliberal Future

ENLIGHTENMENT PHILOSOPHERS PROMISED THAT SWEEPING AWAY THE OLD ARISTOCRACY AND TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS WOULD LIBERATE US.

To some extent, it did – but it also undermined the things that nourished ordinary people: family, marriage, religion, and local community. In Regime Change, Patrick Deneen examines the western tradition and argues that we must use the neglected resources of our philosophical heritage to construct a better way forward.

Key Highlights:

• Draws on thinkers ranging from Aristotle and Machiavelli to Burke and Disraeli.
• Develops a postliberal alternative to address modern challenges.

This iconoclastic book challenges the easy assumptions of both the left and right. It serves as a blueprint for the radical changes needed to negotiate the paradoxes of the 21st century, while staying attuned to the wisdom of the past.
