God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of 'Academic Freedom'
Description
This influential work offers a forceful critique of Yale’s educational priorities, arguing that the university’s commitment to secularism and expansive notions of academic freedom had weakened its attention to religion, morality, and traditional intellectual standards. Drawing on observations of campus life, curriculum, and faculty culture, it questions whether higher education can remain genuinely liberal while excluding or marginalizing religious perspectives. The book explores enduring themes of academic responsibility, institutional values, intellectual independence, and the role of faith in education. Written in a lively, argumentative style, it stands as an early and significant statement of modern American conservative thought.
