Canon Fodder – Claremont Review of Books

The good news is that the coronavirus and its toll may have made the ongoing madness on campus newly vulnerable. Will the fact that the pandemic has generated so many real victims help to eclipse the fake victims of a more decadent, more prosperous time? Will the profound existential questions raised by the pandemic ignite a return to the Great Books themselves books in which the eternal longings and vexations of humanity are most deeply engaged? Might tomorrow s newly strapped parents and students think twice about what real education is, and isn t for the first time in many decades of multicultural slumber?

A good review of Stanley Kurtz’s new book, The Lost History of Western Civilization, by Mary Erberstadt. The evil that is Stanford figures prominently.
