- Book Synopsis
- 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. Drawing on thinkers ranging from Aristotle and Machiavelli to Burke and Disraeli, Deneen develops a postliberal alternative. This iconoclastic book challenges the easy assumptions of left and right. It is a blueprint for the radical changes we need to negotiate the paradoxes of the 21st century, while remaining alive to the wisdom of the past. 'Regime Change offers a sober assessment of where we are and a way forward that will challenge ideologues on all sides of the political maelstrom' - MARY HARRINGTON, author of Feminism Against Progress 'Articulates a vision for a populist politics that can rebuild what has been torn down' - J. D. VANCE, United States Senator and author of Hillbilly Elegy
