Patrick J. Deneen (born 1964) is an American political theorist and author, known for his critical examination of liberalism and its effect on contemporary society. He is a professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame, where his work emphasizes the interrelations of political philosophy, culture, and religion.[1]
Deneen's most notable book, Why Liberalism Failed, argues that the principles of liberalism have caused societal fragmentation and the erosion of communal bonds. His scholarship often explores the philosophical underpinnings of modern political thought and advocates for more traditional and localized forms of governance. His 2023 book, Regime Change: Towards a Postliberal Future, extends his critique of liberalism and develops a broader view of a postliberal politics.
