Post-Liberalism vs Populism: Why we need a moral revolution | John Milbank
Is populism enough? Or is the real crisis deeper – moral, spiritual, civilisational? In this sweeping and provocative lecture, theologian and political philosopher John Milbank argues that post-liberalism is not a reactionary impulse or a right-wing fad, but a serious and British-born intellectual tradition rooted in the thought of Alasdair MacIntyre, John Gray, and religious communitarianism. Milbank critiques both market liberalism and cultural liberalism, showing how they converge into a nihilistic uniparty – a cold, technocratic system with no room for virtue, rootedness, or the common good.
