Jan Patočka Memorial Lecture - What Was Christian Democracy?

Christian democracy has played a fundamental role in shaping European politics after World War II. In his lecture, Jan-Werner Müller will explore the historical developments leading to the formation of this ideology that reconciles Catholicism and modern democracy, focusing on a number of philosophers and political figures. Müller will pose the question if anything remains of Christian democracy today; he will also ask how two recent strands of thought—on 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.
