How to Reopen the American Mind

Jon Baskin and Anastasia Berg, editors of The Point, at The New York Times. "

At first glance, it might seem that the contentious philosophical and ideological debates that forged conservative and liberal ideas of higher education have little to offer us now. Yet we believe not only that those debates remain relevant, but also that the challenges brought on by the pandemic make them essential to being able to imagine any kind of future for humanistic thinking."
