Is Jordan Peterson a liberal? While often seen as a mouthpiece of the alt-right, Peterson has downplayed this characterization, instead describing himself as a “classical British liberal.” In this video, Conrad Hamilton and Greg Taillon unite to explore how Peterson’s commitment to a politics of civil inclusion conceals—apropos his Jungian influence—a darker, more autarchic underbelly.
Conrad Hamilton is the co-author of two books published by Zero: Myth and Mayhem: A Leftist Critique of Jordan Peterson (with Matt McManus, Ben Burgis and Marion Trejo) and What Is Postmodern Conservatism: Essays on Our Hugely Tremendous Times (with Matt McManus and others). Greg Taillon built the website for the former text—drjordanbpeterson.ca—as well as designed its cover image. Together, they host a weekly show on video games and left-wing philosophy, Zero Plateaus.
