Philosopher, academic and political theorist Dr Yoram Hazony joins John for a rich and intertwined conversation on conservatism, nationalism, democracy and modern politics. Dr. Hazony, who has recently published books on several of these topics, offers a compelling critique of the political right: where the mistakes are, the great benefits it can bring to society, and how it deviates from liberalism .
John and Yoram touch on many important topics, including multiculturalism, identity politics, globalism, and why nationalism seems to be surrounded by an undeserved air of controversy.
Yoram Hazony is an Israeli philosopher, biblical scholar and political theorist. He is president of the Herzl Institute in Jerusalem and president of the Edmund Burke Foundation. He has written several books, including The Virtue of Nationalism (2018) and his latest, Conservatism: A Rediscovery (2022), both of which met with popular and critical success.
Educated at Princeton University (BA in East Asian Studies) and Rutgers University (Ph.D in Political Theory), Yoram founded and served as the first editor-in-chief of the conservative student newspaper from Princeton, The Princeton Tory, while still a student. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife Yael Hazony. They have nine children.
