For Patrick Deneen, the liberal political tradition has been decaying from within for many decades (and centuries). Start by describing three ways that Deneen believes that liberalism is declining. In your answer, be sure to reference a few of the specific markers or signposts that Deneen cites along the way as evidence of his decline narrative. Then, in the second half of your answer please argue for or against Deneen’s views on the overall trajectory of liberalism – citing especially the three decline criteria that you have just developed.
Or are there internal resources within liberalism that Deneen is neglecting more that are more revitalizing than he realizes?
