Episode 9 features Jack Kerwick, whose work has appeared in both scholarly journals and popular publications including Townhall, The Agonist, BeliefNet, Abbeville Institute, The Imaginative Conservative, and Frontpage Magazine. Kerwick received his doctoral degree in philosophy from Temple University. He is a professional philosopher who teaches at several institutions in New Jersey. Kerwick’s areas of specialization are ethics and political philosophy, with a particular focus on the classical conservative tradition.
In our discussion, we talk about the “Great UnReason” regarding coronavirus and the progressive riots, both of which are hastening the fundamental transformation of the West. He sees hope in the self-defense measures taken by many Americans, as well as rising gun sales and the fact that the cultural-Marxist mayhem has been solely an urban phenomenon.
But I’m not so sure. Will Americans who live outside the cities actually rise us up? Can they under the current paradigm of state-sanctioned leftist violence, social and corporate struggle sessions, and lawlessness toward the law-abiding? Will it even be enough? I’m quite a bit more black-pilled than is Kerwick, but his ideas may be at least part of the solution. Take a listen, and let me know what you think in the comment sections.
Kerwick’s books are “Higher Miseducation: A Dissident’s Essays on the Assault against Liberal Learning,” “Misguided Guardians: The Conservative Case Against Neoconservatism,” “Christianity and the World: Essays Philosophical, Historical and Cultural,” and “The American Offensive: Dispatches From the Front.” Also of note is the book “Exiled: Stories from Conservative and Moderate Professors Who Have Been Ridiculed, Ostracized, Marginalized, Demonized, and Frozen Out,” which features an essay by Kerwick.
