On John Gray's The New Leviathans.
[Patreon Exclusive - for the full episode, follow the link]
We discuss the British post-liberal philosopher's new book, looking at his background, ideological journey, and why he might be of interest. We also ask:
- How does John Gray use Hobbes and the idea of a Leviathan?
- What is a "state of nature", and what would an artificial state of nature be?
- Is Gray right in this characterization of liberalism?
- Is hyperliberalism the product of liberalism's decay?
- What is postliberalism and how does Gray’s project fit with it?
Readings:
-
Pseudo-Leviathans, George Hoare, Damage
