By the politics of virtue, John Milbank proposes a political renewal focused on a democratic ideal of Catholic-style social policy. Our author forms his political opinion from an essentially ecclesial discourse, as ecclesiology takes the place of social theory for him. The thesis successively analyzes Milbank’s poetic ontology, his political theology, and his “politics of the gift of virtue”.
