Feser argues that postliberal politics can and should be committed to many goods claimed as “liberal,” but an Aristotelian-Thomistic account of reality gives postliberals a more stable foundation.
Thanks for putting in a good word for "The rule of law; constitutional constraints on government; the separation of powers; free and fair elections to determine who holds public office; the market economy; free speech and the critical evaluation of ideas that it makes possible; due process; and so on. "
My first question concerning the postliberal project is a practical one. As a movement that clearly aligns with the political right in the US, are not all of these institutions normally associated with "liberalism" under existential threat by supporting the right in the upcoming election cycle?
Second, is the hope that a quasi-integralism can be achieved that would at least combat the sexual revolution / wokeness even if such liberal institutions are maintained in appearance only?
