I chat to rogue scholar Michael Millerman about what political philosophy can teach us in a post-liberal age.

We also talk about:

• Having roots in Eastern Europe as a motivation for learning political philosophy
• Post-liberalism as a reality beyond liberalism, communism, and fascism
• What does Alexander Dugin add to the conversation?
• Questioning the Individual and replacing him with different other subjectivities.
• “Freedom means the freedom to reject liberalism”
• Going back to the roots of our tradition to understand the fruits of it
• Each Ethnos and the possibility of universal political principles - does Ango-Saxon politics work in Eastern Europe?
• Can everyone get a liberal education?
• Infohazards in understanding political philosophy.
• The Marketplace of Ideas as a filter for truth.
• Eastern Mysticism and how it helps us see nuance in “the self”
• Being embodied vs. being in your body - Gnosticism as a fundamental imbalance.

Michael's recommended subversives are Leo Strauss, Alexander Dugin, and Martin Heidegger.
