  • Enlightened Patriotism & Liberal Education w/ Prof Steven Smith

    Enlightened Patriotism & Liberal Education w/ Prof Steven Smith
    2025/08/08
    Prof Steven Smith explores the concept of 'Enlightenment Patriotism', contrasting it with other forms of nationalism. He discusses the discomfort surrounding patriotism in contemporary society, the bifurcation of American identity into narratives of return and progress, and the challenges of political polarization. The discussion also touches on the idea of 'brokenism' in institutions and the need for humility in political discourse. They explore the complex issues surrounding anti-Semitism in universities, the ideological influences of postmodernism, and the implications of DEI policies, the sources of radicalism on campuses and the importance of enlightened patriotism in fostering a national identity that acknowledges both achievements and faults. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to diversity and inclusion while maintaining the core mission of educational institutions. About the Guest Prof. Steven B. Smith is the Alfred Cowles Professor of Political Science at Yale, where he has taught since 1984. He specializes in the history of political philosophy, focusing on the ancients and moderns, religion and politics, and representative government. His major works include Hegel’s Critique of Liberalism, Spinoza’s Book of Life, Reading Leo Strauss, and Modernity and Its Discontents. He co-directs Yale’s Center for the Study of Representative Institutions and has received several honors, including the Lex Hixon Prize for Teaching Excellence. A lifelong Yankees fan, he jokes about joining the team in the next life.
