All the kingdoms of the world: on radical religious alternatives to liberalism

Kevin Vallier evaluates new and radical religious alternatives to liberal democracy. In reaction to the perceived failings of liberalism, new intellectuals propose to replace our system of government with one that promotes the true faith. He focuses on the new Catholic illiberals and assesses their anti-liberal doctrine known as integralism. He then generalises the critique of integralism to assess related doctrines in Sunni Islam and Chinese Confucianism. Vallier does not merely describe these views, but he asks whether they are true on their own terms.
