Raymond Aron (1948): "The commentator who is not attached to a party performs a kind of public service...The ideal commentator, especially in economic matters, is an enlightened and skeptical scholar, not a prisoner of his own theories, who retains the taste for the singular, consent to pragmatism and the smile of common sense."

I have a new piece out today in Persuasion, a tour of the why, what, and how of liberal education. I call for the wholesale reconstruction of the undergraduate curriculum and a fundamental shift in the professoriate's conception of its purpose.

[Kristin M. Collier, MD @HSRdirector]

reminds me of this quote by St. Augustine

“People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.”
