Liberalism is failing. Instead of making us more free, we are becoming more isolated from what makes us most human: from community, family, and friendship. Debates between progressives and conservatives continue to no end, but things only seem to get worse. In this episode of Pints with Aquinas, Dr. Andrew Willard Jones presents a paradigm shift for politics. Against the story of secularism, where politics and religion are separate realms, Andrew argues that Christ came to save all that is human: politics, economics, business-all of it. Instead of fighting over a failing liberalism, Andrew shows us why (and how) we should redeem politics by building families and communities of Christian love.

I agree. There are two good books I've read: Conservatism - Hazony. I was worried it would be another book about 'Liberal conservatism'; it's not. He talks about how in the 1950's the historical foundation of America was 'reinterpreted' from the Anglo Tradition to enlightenment rationality (liberalism). The second book is: Revolution and Counterrevolution - Plinio Correa de Oliveira. It's a good book where he talks about the semi-counterrevolutionary. This book has, in my opinion, aged well. It seems more true and obvious today than when he wrote it in the 60's.

I personally-embrace the Subsidiarity principle formulated by the Catholic Church, in that human-matters ought to be handled by the smallest, or least centralized competent authority instead of a higher and/or more distant one, whenever possible. This means children should be educated and supervised by their parents, extended families, family friends whenever possible. Aligned with the principle of subsidiarity is the social concept of Distributism that views both laissez-faire capitalism & state socialism as flawed -- and exploitative. The concept favors small independent craftsmen and producers; and if that is not possible, economic mechanisms such as cooperatives and member-owned mutual organizations as well as small to medium enterprises. Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical, Rerum novarum, advocated distributism. Its conceptual roots can be traced to Catholic theologians such as Thomas Aquinas and Augustine of Hippo. The term "localism" economic/social is gaining traction.

@RosieJ7223 4 месяца назад

I think the Latin Rite needs to do some PR when it comes to this concept of subsidiarity! I always thought that Catholics just had the Pope, and then whatever he would say was like God’s word, and I never knew how much local authority there was! It’s really more “bottom up” than “top down” in many ways, but because the Pope is the one on tv, no one has any idea how it really works!

I have had a similar intellectual journey through the Austrian Economics world into the Catholic Church as a convert. My plan is to start reading somethings by Dr. Jones to sort through what that journey really consisted of and what crossover remains in our worldviews. Dr. Jones should share what he knows about the deeper side of the Austrian Econ world that verges into Anarchism and then necessarily reverts into localism, religion, tradition, subsidiarity, monarchism, etc. Why is that? Why are so many libertarians converting to Orthodoxy or Catholicism? There is a deeper reason than one might assume. Something prepared the way for these converts...myself included.

@99Kresnik 4 месяца назад

Austrian economics is teleological at its base. Humans act, meaning that they engage in the purposeful use of means to achieve ends. That everything has a final cause (purpose, end) is how many ancient and medieval philosophers saw things (Aristotle, Aquinas, etc). Modern philosophy embraced Hume and removed teleology, in order to move away from the conclusions of metaphysics. Which would generally lead one to God, the natural order, and thus the older faiths you mention. Backdrop of the Protestant Reformation to this as well.

One thing about Matt that often goes unnoticed is how critical of an interviewer he can be. He doesn't pull punches when probing the ideas of his guests and there are definitely a couple moments where Dr Jones is on the backfoot (probably the wrong wording since that sounds very adversarial but you get the idea). There are other episodes where it happens too. Love Dr Jones, some incredible points about contract theory which I'll definitely remember, and a great interviewer in Matt!

You ALWAYS save face. When a person doesn’t save face for others, that’s a sign they are Cal from “Titanic.” Don’t get in a boat with a guy like that- he’ll throw you out because underneath his suit he’s just a feckless, critical ninny.

1:04:50 very interesting on liberalism and patriotism. I'd be curious to hear Dr. Jones' take on "bioleninism" (not sure if it's an academic term, but new right political theorists use it fairly frequently). Communist states would elevate/patronize the lowest people of society (with no family, church, community), thus garnering loyalty from them to the regime unconditionally, not dissimilar from what many American leftists are doing now (heightening the familyless, family-destroying gender ideologues, giving them power and, in turn, receiving unquestioning loyalty to the regime). Notice how "regime" and "country" aren't necessarily equated, as these regime-zealots aren't necessarily patriotic and are, in fact, hostile to those who are. The converse is also true - you see the "patriots" deeply, deeply skeptical of the regime (referring to it as the "deep state", which they've been mocked for doing).

I know the good Doctor is critical of liberalism as a project, but the American constitutional system (a product thereof) is compatible with subsidiarity IMO.

I personally can fully relate to Andrew's accurate assessment of the flaws of libertarianism, and thus why I find it sooo frustrating when right wing activists poo poo "social justice" progressive liberals so hard, making the term "liberal" pejorative, when often they themselves fail to see their own version of free market liberalism has formed their criticism of those other liberals who are taking the modernist experiment to its logical conclusion. Honestly, we are living in such a divided world, headed towards civil war domestically and towards a global war internationally due to the hardened hearts of hyper individualistic versions of liberal political ideologies. Duh, the only way to bridge this great divide is too foster more mutually loving relationships, or as Jesus Christ commands us, "Love your enemies"!

Also, for good measure: "...whenever the legislators endeavour to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any farther obedience, and are left to the common refuge which God hath provided for all men against force and violence." - Locke's 2nd Treatise The above is just a taste. Dr. Jones has mischaracterized Locke's position (I'll assume not deliberately, but it's a pretty big mistake to make on accident) on property and rights being "owned and managed" by the government (time stamp 53:00 - 53:20). He has also terribly mischaracterized liberalism in general. No liberal would say that they see oppression where the state doesn't have authority. A progressive might say that, but progressives aren't very liberal anymore, if you haven't noticed. A whole branch of classical liberalism is dedicated to protecting and understanding the importance of centers of power and institutions that exist independently of the state, such as families, the workplace/professional connections, churches, friends, communities, etc. Jones has taken the most extreme portions of John Stuart Mill and projected it onto all of liberalism. Locke and Burke and Smith were not Mill. The American Founders were not Mill. This whole episode is a mess.

I never did like the enlightenment political thinkers. It always struck me that they must not ever have had a mother or raised a child. Their legacy remains in those who, in all of the issues of our time, assume the autonomous adult as the basis of all moral decision-making.

1:43:10 I’m sorry but the Christian position does require higher orders to be built. But it relies on the highest order. The other positions on offer rely on intermediates…therefore asking them for far more than they’re capable of delivering.

Wasn’t a fan of how much you both talked over each other in this one, but enjoyed the content.

The obvious counter for objective morality being able to be based on self interest is Genghis Khan.

1:54:35 Not bizarre at all. The emperors knew how the Republic fell and they came to power. Look at the famous letter to Pliny that mentions Christians. Trajan’s attitude was ‘meh, Christians are only a problem if they make a nuisance. But these people trying to form a volunteer for brigade? They’re the real threat!’
