Abstract
A recent trend in political theory is the rise of conservative post-liberal thinkers; some, such as Patrick Deneen, appropriate Alasdair MacIntyre. They do so because MacIntyre has long been presented as a thinker who urges us to reject modernity and liberalism tout court, in favor of pre-modern theories and communities. In this essay I contend that MacIntyre’s thought diverges from conservative post-liberalism, with respect to claims about pre-modernity, modernity, and liberal political institutions. For MacIntyre, unlike for conservative post-liberals, pre-modernity fails to provide readily applicable theoretical and practical alternatives to liberal modernity. In the absence of alternatives MacIntyre holds that we must acknowledge that modernity, including liberal political institutions, has some resources to help us achieve human flourishing. Because MacIntyre acknowledges the defects of pre-modernity and the advantages brought by modernity, he is not a conservative post-liberal and can challenge conservative post-liberals to moderate their critique of liberal modernity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
