I believe I do, but I have a good degree in philosophy, with 50+ years of life in this milieu, and I believe am reasonably well read, and I think that all of these are required:

This is the rejection of the idea of a “social contract.”

We now seem to be not only post-Enlightenment but post Enlightened, that is to say the various social and psychological fixtures of the Enlightenment are being discarded, just as the social and psychological fixtures of Christendom were cast off over the past two to three centuries.

There Is No Good Reason You Should Have to Be a Citizen to Vote

Typical liberal: Argumentum ex ignorantia,

i.e. I don’t know why x is true, therefore x is false. Logic in the NYT rarely gets better.
