In Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth, Robert George, an acclaimed political philosopher and legal scholar who has taught generations of students at Princeton University and Harvard Law School, tackles many of the most vexing and divisive issues in American politics. He demonstrates what it means to reason one’s way to conclusions on controversial issues, rather than simply following the tribe or the crowd, or allowing oneself to be dragged around by one’s feelings or emotions. George has long proclaimed that it is a teacher’s sacred mission to form his students to be determined truth seekers and courageous truth speakers. In Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth he illustrates that teaching by showing us how it’s done.

Here is a tasty paradox: How did the Leftist legions regroup after history delivered its fatal blow to the Soviet system? Simple, argues Jean-Francois Revel: the Left retreated to the impregnable fortress of the Utopian ideal. After all, socialism incarnate was always vulnerable to criticism. Utopia, on the other hand, lies by definition beyond reproach.

Socialism was man’s most ambitious attempt to supplant religion with a doctrine claiming to ground itself in “science.” Indeed, no religion ever spread so far so fast. Yet while socialism had established itself as a fact of life by the beginning of the 20th century, it did not create societies of abundance or give birth to “the New Man.”
