Post-Liberalism as a Response to Neo-Liberalism
Post-liberalism presents itself as a response to the dominance of neo-liberal ideology, distancing itself from traditional liberalism's focus on individualism. John Milbank highlights that while liberalism emphasizes individual liberty and happiness, it falls short in promoting community, group identity, and positive goals.
