Imagine There's No Liberals

Debates between liberals and actual “post-liberals” are therefore quite difficult to find in the Anglophone world—and particularly in the United States, a regime explicitly founded on liberal ideas, which has no meaningful history of any true and lasting “illiberalism.” Matthew Rose’s new book, A World After Liberalism: Philosophers of the Radical Right, then, is a pleasant surprise. It represents a good-faith attempt to grapple with a group of thinkers whose ideas, for better or worse, are not only non-liberal but also self-consciously non-Christian.
