Uncommon Knowledge: Harvey Mansfield Counts His Blessings

 

The political philosopher Harvey Mansfield first arrived at Harvard University in the fall of 1949. He has remained at that august institution of higher education and is still teaching at age 90. In this special edition of Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson, recorded in the Baker Library at Dartmouth College, Dr. Mansfield answers five questions about America today from his perspective of observing and writing about the country for more than half a century.

    He certainly has seen some changes. He’s a national treasure. So are you, Peter.

    So glad to see that you’ve done another interview with Mr. Mansfield! The original recording of the two of you was what got me hooked on Uncommon Knowledge in the first place.
