SUMMARY:What Was Christian Democracy?
DESCRIPTION:Jan Patočka Memorial Lecture\n&nbsp\;\n\nChristian democracy h
 as played a fundamental role in shaping European politics after World War 
 II. In his lecture\, Jan-Werner Müller will explore the historical develo
 pments leading to the formation of this ideology that reconciles Catholici
 sm and modern democracy\, focusing on a number of philosophers and politic
 al figures. Müller will pose the question if anything remains of Christia
 n democracy today\; he will also ask how two recent strands of thought—o
 n the one hand\, populism\; on the other\, the ideologies usually grouped 
 under the label of “post-liberalism”—relate to Christian democracy\,
  whose legacy is claimed by representatives of both strands.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\
