I highly recommend Professor George's latest book, The Clash of the Orthodoxies. I have a copy, and though I haven't finished it, what I read was top-notch. It is printed by ISI Books, which is based in hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.

Thanks for the link to Crisis, a great publication. Do you like the New Oxford Review as well?

He has been honored by both the liberal American Bar Association and the conservative Federalist Society, “which is extremely unusual and shows how respected he is on both sides of the political spectrum,” says Bill Saunders,...

Wow!

“Students are drawn to him, not just sensing controversy in the air but compelled by a teaching style based on principles that force thoughtful conclusions, and not merely relativistic admirations for different theories.” George’s no-nonsense style and love of fiery debates made his lectures “the only ones at Princeton that kept me awake each week from start to finish,” Hess adds

This is a person who understands what behavior is rewarded at institutions of higher learning. I wonder what her parents are paying for the rest of her curriculum/insomnia cure?

"Today George is giving the commencement address at Michigan’s Hillsdale College. As always he is urging students to think."

“After all, it was quite risky for the politics department to give tenure to a strong, attractive young conservative in a department of only 50 people. Why, as the saying goes, he could just unbalance the whole place!”

This comment just serves to illustrate why Liberals simply hate conservative professors on campus. Liberal ideas cannot hold up in critical academic examination, so they have to eliminate the possibility of that by eliminating their opposition.

Good read. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for linking to this on another thread. I admire Professor George, and learned so much from his series of debates on stem cell research on "National Review."

However, the author is wrong, wrong, wrong about one thing:

"" If there really is a vast, right-wing conspiracy, its leaders probably meet in George’s basement.""


Of course, we meet here on FR.

Big Robert George fan here. A true intellectual of the first rank.

With all due respect, Bill Bennet and John "I hate WASPs" Diulio are nowhere near in the same league.

“Some politicians say that they’re ‘personally opposed’ to abortion, yet ‘pro-choice,’” says the 48-year-old professor of constitutional law and moral philosophy. “But we must ask: Is this a position that can survive the test of logical coherence? After all, if abortion is wrong, surely it is wrong because it is the unjust taking of the life of a developing human being.” He pauses to let that sink in and then launches another question: “And if one believes that, then what could possibly justify a regime of law that licenses so grave an injustice?”

Brilliant!! The 'personally opposed' position I always found stupid.

Good bio. I have the greatest respect for Robert George. He was one of the backers of Chief Justice Roberts, which was one major reason why I figured that Roberts was a good pick. I trust George, and I don't think it would be easy to pull the wool over his eyes.

The article seems to have dropped the reference to journals where George has published, but one of them is First Things. Here's a search at First Things for articles by or about George:
