Harvey Mansfield, the professor of government and political philosopher at Harvard, is one of the great teachers in America. He does some splendid teaching in this hour with Jay. He talks about manliness – what it is and what it isn’t. (Mansfield published a book on the subject in 2006.) He talks about “conservative” and “liberal” – what do those things mean? He addresses the question, posed long ago, of whether we can keep our republic. In all, a rich and enriching hour, requiring not a cent in tuition.

    Even among Jay’s eclectic mix of guests, Mansfield is a surprise, & a delightful one at that! Thanks!

    I’ll tune in to this. I’ve read Mansfield’s book Manliness multiple times and it is really a profound book.
