Pensive Politics is a show where Christian Watson explores contemporary political, cultural, and social issues through the lens of American civic conservatism coupled with rigorous philosophical analysis. Rooted in the principles of classical republicanism, natural law, and classical liberty, the show aims to defend the United States as the living promise of the Enlightenment and the embodiment of the best in Western political tradition. If you want to join this project of civic revivalism, be sure to join the Discord and engage judiciously in the comments!
