Summary

American post-liberal reactionary thinker and founder of the Society for American Civic Renewal — a leader of the neo-reactionary/integralist movement seeking to replace liberal democracy with a Christian social order.

Core Contribution

Post-liberal integralism in practice: Haywood runs The Worthy House, a book review site focused on political philosophy, history, and the reactionary tradition. His Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR) is a fraternal organization explicitly aimed at building social infrastructure for post-liberal politics — local community networks to replace liberal civic institutions. His political vision combines integralism (the subordination of temporal to spiritual authority) with a critique of the Enlightenment foundations of liberalism. He is among the most organizationally serious figures in the American post-liberal movement.
