On The Moral Fragmentation Of The West & What Comes Next

Nathan Pinkoski is a senior fellow at the Centre for Renewing America. He has written for ‪@firstthings‬, ‪@CompactMagazine‬, Perspectives on Political Science, The Claremont Review of Books. His forthcoming book, Actually Existing Post-Liberalism, explores the transformation of the West since 1989 and is due to be published by Basic Books. He is also translating Éric Zemmour’s bestseller The Suicide of the French into English for Encounter Books.

In this conversation, Nathan and I think out loud about Nathan's academic journey, why Alasdair MacIntyre was one of the most important philosophers of our age, why modern moral discourse is so fragmented, how technological change significantly influences political discourse and how it has reshaped humanity itself, why institutions accelerate division rather than unity, the shift from truth to power claims, why one of the most taboo books of the 20th century is now back in print, why we need a common moral language for societal unity, whether a shared moral vocabulary can be rebuilt, what a stable moral order requires, what comes next after the collapse of political consensus and much, much more.
