Patrick Deneen: podcast appearances and interviews

Patrick J. Deneen is an American political theorist and author born in 1964. He is a professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame, where his work focuses on the interrelations of political philosophy, culture, and religion. Deneen is known for his critical examination of liberalism and its effects on contemporary society. His most notable book, Why Liberalism Failed, argues that the principles of liberalism have contributed to societal fragmentation and the decline of communal bonds. His scholarship often explores the philosophical foundations of modern political thought and advocates for the adoption of more traditional and localized forms of governance. In 2023, he published Regime Change: Towards a Postliberal Future, which extends his critique of liberalism and presents a broader perspective on possible postliberal political developments.
