Every book Auron MacIntyre recommended on podcasts
Across 2 podcasts. Every show Auron MacIntyre appears on, in one place — not just one.
Auron MacIntyre is a podcast guest and political commentator who frequently discusses political theory, American identity, and history on various programs. On an episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, MacIntyre brought up several influential texts to illustrate broader historical and philosophical arguments. He mentioned Thomas Hobbes's classic work 'Leviathan' to explain that even though Hobbes made arguments for secular government, the vast majority of the text was rooted in traditional and theological language. Turning to American culture and political identity, MacIntyre discussed Samuel P. Huntington's books 'The Clash of Civilizations' and 'Who are We?'. He used Huntington's work to argue that the core of American identity is fundamentally tied to the Anglo-Protestant spirit and to examine the components of American history and order. In the same discussion, he referenced Russell Kirk's foundational text 'The Conservative Mind' while talking about the intellectual giants who defined the conservative movement. Additionally, on an episode of Timcast IRL, MacIntyre discussed Frantz Fanon's 'The Wretched of the Earth', bringing up the work to examine the philosophical foundations of decolonization and student protests.
