I’ve seen some say that the public reason project in political philosophy is dead. I think this is because its ethic of public deliberation looks unrealistic post 2024 election. But public justification and public deliberation are not the same thing. My case: www.jstor.org/stable/26444...

Lots of great starter packs, but it does amuse me that there’s an exvangelical pack in the first two pages of search results and not an evangelical pack.

Is there a philosophy starter pack? A law starter pack? An Econ starter pack? You apparently can’t search for them yet.

It really does seem like the dam has broken and that most academic communities are here or will be soon, and many other parts of the left. I’m not seeing many on the right, and I’m not sure that will happen.

I think philosophy, poli sci, and econ Twitter are close to solving the coordination problem of coming over here. I’d hesitated because I’m so eager to connect with young people on the right and that’s where they live. But I feel like my mind has dulled with such a Musky feed.

In this very short post, I outline the main argument for postliberalism: there's no alternative to imposing values on people. This No Alternative Objection seems intuitive. Yet it is fatally ambiguous in two respects. liberaltortoise.kevinvallier.com/p/the-main-a...

In my recent exchange with leading integralists, we discussed the idea of legal authority. Integralists need a rich account to explain the authority of both church and state. My discussion with Thomas Pink clarified the matter, which I explore here. liberaltortoise.kevinvallier.com/p/the-great-...
