Political Science

What is the enduring philosophy, disposition, or essence uniting the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today? Nothing at all, according to brother academics Hyrum and Verlan Lewis.

What is the value of a liberal education? Traditionally characterized by a rigorous engagement with the classics of Western thought and literature, this approach to education is all but extinct in American universities, replaced by flexible distribution requirements and ever-narrower academic specialization. Many academics attack the very idea of a Western canon as chauvinistic, while the general public increasingly doubts the value of the humanities.
