What Is America?
Manage episode 493352012 series 3627390
According to Vice President Vance, America is not an idea: America is a nation. A people. And there are some here who don't belong. Join Samantha and guest Guillaume Attia as they discuss the contrast between America as a nation and America as an idea, the philosophical foundations of liberal politics, and the long—and messy—arc of American history.
You can also read Guillaume's essay on these subjects, "The Fixed Theme of American History": https://www.liberalcurrents.com/the-fixed-theme-of-american-history/
