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。

In The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis draws attention to a particular English textbook, exposes the philosophy behind it, warns of the consequences for moral and political life, and reminds us of an alternative. This article updates The Abolition of Man. Following Lewis’s pattern, I begin by drawing attention to the content and pedagogy of an unidentified Christian school English program. Using Alasdair MacIntyre’s framework, I argue that the philosophy behind it can be traced to the contemporary encyclopaedic projects of Rawls and Kohlberg and the genealogical projects of Foucault and Gee, which have produced a dichotomy between justice and virtue and a problem of authority with significant consequences. The two projects converge making each internally inconsistent. Tradition provides a way out, but an encounter with these other projects should lead tradition to find its own language and resources for progress in areas like diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; learning disabilities; and the classical canon.
在《废止人类》一书中,C. S. 刘易斯提请人们注意一本特殊的英语教科书,揭露其背后的哲学,警告道德和政治生活的后果,并提醒我们另一种选择。本文更新了《废除人类》一书。按照刘易斯的模式,我首先提请大家注意一个不知名的基督教学校英语课程的内容和教学法。利用阿拉斯戴尔-麦金太尔的框架,我认为其背后的哲学可以追溯到罗尔斯和科尔伯格的当代百科全书项目以及福柯和吉的谱系项目,这两个项目产生了正义与美德之间的二分法以及具有重大影响的权威问题。这两个项目的交汇使得各自内部不一致。传统提供了一条出路,但与这些其他项目的交锋应使传统找到自己的语言和资源,以便在多样性、公平、包容和归属感、学习障碍以及经典作品等领域取得进展。
