Superseding Liberalism: Mouffe v. Communitarians (3)

This video covers chapter 2 of Chantal Mouffe's The Return of the Political, where we learn how Mouffe agrees with Communitarians on some things, but ultimately wants to move beyond them and keep what is valuable about liberalism. Is Mouffe's "thin community" good enough? Not sure, but we'll see as we move through the rest of her argument. Some major Communitarians, Charles Taylor, Alasdaire MacIntyre, and Michael Sandel, are discussed in relation to Mouffe's views.

This is amazing, you're one of the most informative political youtubers out there

A passionate hero of wide scale education. You are having more effect than you may realize.

[@anonperson3972]

I wish communitarianism was a more widely known field of thought.

Congratulations on 7000, you seem to be building momentum.
Speaking culturally I think you're one of UA-cam's most relevant creators.

Communitarianism has been in practice for literally thousands of years in the jewish, antiwar, and crafts community. The Quakers, the jewish artisan networks used in banking before invention of the telephone. The publishing networks, book binding and printing these are all vast very sturdy networks. The key to these is a duty to a craft or network node. Im surprised some of these philosophers dont take a anthropological study of these and extract the principles.

Fantastic channel. Glad I stumbled upon it.

When I arrived at the section when Mouffe lauded Skinner, Machiavelli and Civic Republicanism, I almost stood up and cheered.

Here is a convo that may be of interest: System Crash, What Next? Also there is one about Warks book

I wondered if you’d ever consider covering Erik Voegelin?

[@kjvail]

I found it. I missed it before.
Of course , I’m greedy. I would love a more detailed reading of Order and History.
Great work with the channel

[@ljpolitical-philosophy]

I’d love to do more on Voegelin...his thought lines up with Jung’s in certain respects.

[@kjvail]

Glad to hear it. Voegelin doesn’t get much attention, probably because his work is pretty difficult but it’s worth it IMO

[@shelleygarlandforpresident9426]

You should go on a panel on the Red May UA-cam Channel. It would be interesting

[@ljpolitical-philosophy]

Shelley Garland for President I’ll check the channel out

The language of virtue is the language of civic republicanism (atm justice not including this) but not one virtue. Political animal
No ultimate end to history with agonistic politics
