The Post-Liberalism Debates

The following series of comments arises from a recent event at the Danube Institute, entitled ‘Is Liberalism a Threat to Religious Liberty?’, held on 3 December 2025. The debate was difficult to contain within the framework of religious liberty alone, as the topics that arose in response to this question touched on the nature of liberalism itself. What emerged from this discussion was an extensive debate on the nature of liberalism and postliberalism. The three participants have written up their thoughts on this discussion, which we are publishing below. We believe this is one of the most comprehensive debates between liberals and postliberals in recent months.
