Abstract
Stephen Wolfe’s The Case for Christian Nationalism and Patrick Deneen’s Regime Change: Toward a Postliberal Future express dissatisfaction, even anger, with contemporary America and the liberal tradition. Both authors believe America is fundamentally broken, and they appeal to pre-American sources to construct their alternative visions. Their alternatives, however, exhibit nostalgia for a past that arguably never existed, suffer from significant internal problems, and suggest ominous means to attain their respective ideals.
斯蒂芬-沃尔夫(Stephen Wolfe)的《基督教民族主义案例》(The Case for Christian Nationalism)和帕特里克-德尼恩(Patrick Deneen)的《政权更迭:走向后自由主义的未来》表达了对当代美国和自由主义传统的不满,甚至是愤怒。两位作者都认为美国已经从根本上崩溃,他们诉诸美国以前的思想来源来构建自己的替代愿景。然而,他们的替代方案表现出对可以说从未存在过的过去的怀旧,存在严重的内部问题,并提出了实现各自理想的不祥手段。
