The Limits of Liberalism

Liberalism rejects tradition. Its proponents would say it frees you from tradition’s oppressive grasp.

But as Professor Mark T. Mitchell shows in this fascinating lecture, liberalism’s rejection of tradition has produced a false conception of freedom. Mitchell, the author of The Limits of Liberalism, reveals the philosophical incoherence that the rejection of tradition produces . . .

. . . and the political damage it does.

Dr. Mitchell delivered this lecture at Villanova University on February 20, 2019. It was the Fourth Annual Russell Kirk Lecture, hosted by Villanova’s ISI Society.
