Aristopopulism: A Political Proposal for America. Delivered by Patrick Deneen

The 2019 First Things Lecture in Washington, D.C.
Aristopopulism: A Political Proposal for America
Delivered by Patrick Deneen
In this lecture, Patrick Deneen will envision the prospects for an ennobled aristoi and a more refined populace. He will at once acknowledge the persistence of class and inequality even in a democratic age (denying a path forward lies in a growing sympathy for socialism), but will propose that only a well-formed elite can support a humane condition of the populace, and only a well-formed populace can fruitfully restrain the hubris of a liberal elite and even orient them toward virtue. Through such a mixed regime, practices supporting a common good might emerge, correcting the core weakness of a liberal order designed to forestall such a possibility.
