Today The Remnant welcomes Harvey Mansfield, longtime Harvard professor and philosophical paragon. Though thoroughly intimidated, Jonah Goldberg plucks up his courage and dives into a brilliantly winding conversation about effectual truth, rationalism, virtues in the modern academy, Straussianism, Christianity’s inheritance from the ancients, law and the state, autonomy, American pragmatism, Marx, postliberalism, John Rawls, Locke’s labor theory of value, and the future of America.
The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a non-partisan, conservative perspective.
