American Affairs[edit]

Re this edit[1], I'd like to see the rationale explained. A serious conservative publication invited two of the most prominent critics of liberalism to write lengthy essays about it. That is evidence of the book's notability. But if you really want a secondary source citing American Affairs as evidence of the book's notability (which really shouldn't be necessary), here it is, courtesy New York Magazine:

...Similar arguments have been made before, but Deneen’s book appears to have caught a mood. (A surprise hit, it quickly sold out of its first print run on Amazon.) The book has been praised by conservatives like Rod Dreher and sports a blurb from black radical stalwart Cornel West on its back cover; it has earned multiple mentions in the New York Times and provoked thoughtful responses from liberals such as Shadi Hamid and Damon Linker, the latter of whom called it “the most electrifying book of cultural criticism published in some time.” In an indication of the book’s importance on the intellectual right, the journal American Affairs recently made it the subject of two separate review essays by right-wing Catholic heavyweights — the Polish philosopher Ryszard Legutko and Harvard Law professor Adrian Vermeule. Across the pundit spectrum, Deneen has found an audience willing to entertain the idea that liberalism, our governing philosophy of nearly 250 years, is dying or already dead.'[2]

Since they're mentioned in New York Magazine I agree that they also can be in the article. Thanks, —Paleo Neonate – 20:03, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
