Theorizing beyond the liberal order

We explore a range of philosophic or theoretical issues around questions of human flourishing, including community, order, freedom, selfhood, governance, belonging, autonomy, and the good life, based on traditions that reside partially or wholly outside of the liberal order. We draw on or work within Indigenous traditions, the European Continental traditions, Critical Theory, Ancient Western traditions, early human political traditions, Feminist, and Ecological traditions.
