I recently began reading TAP. I would recommend your writers to pay attention to Simone Weil's arguments about the primacy of duties over rights in her book L'enracinement (there is a translation, The Need for Roots). This is the only way to ground postliberalism on first principles, IMHO.
Yes, of course, but that's too general and many thinkers never stopped doing that. We need a unifying principle to bring down the entire Enlightenment scaffolding, built upon the inventions, the fabrications, of natural rights and the state of nature.

I think you can more easily ground postliberalism on first principles by looking to great Western thinkers, from Plato to Aquinas.

I'm with you there. We definitely need to refresh these timeless principles in a modern context.
