🎓📚Reading more Williams and Da Silva on postliberalism:

\n
\n

“Milbank remarks that “‘post’ is different from ‘pre’ and implies not that liberalism is all bad, but that it has inherent limits and problems.” Moreover, the inherent limits and problems that Milbank sees in liberalism have little to do with its institutions (Milbank is no opponent of electoral democracy and civil liberties), but rather with the philosophical anthropology and (tacitly) theological presuppositions that actors within these institutions usually take for granted.” Williams and Da Silva, 2025, p. 68

🎓📚Reading more about postliberalism’s foundations today. A summary from Jacob Williams and João Pinheiro Da Silva:

\n
\n

“Postliberal theology thus reflected, among other things, a profound skepticism of individualism as a social ontology, perceiving a need to recover a hermeneutic that recognized its inseparability from the life of a particular community rather than speciously positing an epistemic foundation (whether modern or traditional) lying outside the community.” Williams and Da Silva, 2025, p. 64

Secular progressivism also has its deep story. In that story, a morally and intellectually advanced elite shepherds a backward and benighted mass toward prosperity and enlightenment. In the early 20th century, this deep story was entangled with nativism, imperialism, and eugenics. Today it is tinged with “workism,“ meritocracy and technocracy. And, in many cases, with an instinctive antipathy toward organized...

“From [Robert] Nisbet’s perspective, the post-liberal attempt to redirect state power from individualizing the populace to integrating the populace into meaningful community is dubious because the origins and structure of state power renders it an inherent social solvent.” (Sheahan, 2025, p. 178)

Ebola is often called the disease of compassion by experts like Dr. Craig Spencer. It spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids, which means it spreads when a family member tends to the sick, when a nurse stays at the bedside, or when a community gathers to bury their dead. In other words, it’s spread through acts of care.
