E131 - The End of Liberal Certainty w/ John Gray

A spirited discussion between Danny and the English political philosopher on his recent book The New Leviathans: Thoughts After Liberalism
19

John Gray, emeritus professor of European thought at the London School of Economics, joins Danny for a lively chat about liberalism, the powers that be, and what the duo calls “the bads”. Centering John’s recent book The New Leviathans: Thoughts After Liberalism, this wide-ranging discussion tries to make sense of the post-Cold War world, assess the threats posed by political and environmental factors, and reckon with what John sees as the extreme default condition of human life.
