We discuss the British post-liberal philosopher's new book, looking at his background, ideological journey, and why he might be of interest. We also ask:
How does John Gray use Hobbes and the idea of a Leviathan?
What is a "state of nature", and what would an artificial state of nature be?
Is Gray right in this characterization of liberalism?
Is hyperliberalism the product of liberalism's decay?
What is postliberalism and how does Gray’s project fit with it?
