Almost 250 years ago, our Founders thought We the People were the solution. Today, it looks like we have become the problem. What happened, and what can We the People do about it?

In Remaking the Space Between Us, Smith invites us to see what lies behind this story:...

Something basic is missing in our culture. Americans know it. Nothing much works as it should. Simple daily choices seem impossible, or fraught with peril. In the workplace, we walk on eggshells. Big projects-say, modernizing infrastructure-get stalled in years of review. Endemic social problems such as homelessness become, well, more endemic.
Everyday Freedom offers a radical reinterpretation of the corrosion of American culture. The assault...

Until you come to my side of the fence to see what I see and I come to your side to see what you see, we will struggle with social justice. Johnson's book will help get us there." JC Watts, politician, clergyman, businessman, and athlete Social justice matters because we-each of us-matter. Unless we learn to co-exist as equals, we will never live...

Read Peter's Op-ed on Trump's Immigration Ban in The New York Times
The rise of dual citizenship could hardly have been imaginable to a time traveler from a hundred or even fifty years ago. Dual nationality was once considered an offense to nature, an abomination on the order of bigamy. It was the stuff of titanic battles between the United States and European sovereigns. As those conflicts dissipated, dual citizenship continued to be an oddity,...

Rationality and reason have become political, disputed concepts, subject to easy dismissal.
Julian Baggini argues eloquently that we must recover our reason and reassess its proper place, neither too highly exalted nor completely maligned....

You've heard of the "Great Books"? These are their evil opposites. From Machiavelli's The Prince to Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto to Alfred Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, these "influential" books have led to war, genocide, totalitarian oppression, family breakdown, and disastrous social experiments. And yet these authors' bad ideas are still popular and pervasive--in fact, they might influence your own thinking without your realizing...
