Four spirited responses to my short essay in Liberty & Law on the battles at Lexington and Concord at their 250th anniversary prove that no significant historical event, no matter how limited in time and space—in this case, to a single day, in a single Massachusetts county—can ever be fully explained or appreciated in ten pages, or in a hundred pages, by a single historian. If it could be, history would be a much simpler and much duller enterprise than it is.

Our conception of the past is littered with expressions that are often poorly defined or understood: ancient, barbarian, empire, liberal, progress, capitalism. The distinguished historian J. C. D. Clark wishes to draw our attention to the equivocal character of another widely used term: Enlightenment. To be precise, the more problematic formulation is “the Enlightenment,” not “enlightenment” per se.

The contemporary French political philosopher Pierre Manent is widely acknowledged as a thinker of the first rank, one whose approach to the study of human affairs renews political philosophy’s original ambition to provide a truly “architectonic” or comprehensive grasp of the human world. Manent’s concerns are the age-old ones of the city and the soul.

Educational freedom has been controversial for a very long time—by my estimate, the modern educational freedom movement started in 399 BC, when a private tutor was forced to drink hemlock by the equivalent of the local board of education for failing to acknowledge the god of the city and a rather vague charge of “corrupting the youth.”How families choose to educate their children is still the locus of enormously controversial debates.

In The New York Times, Oren Cass compared “Liberation Day” to WWII’s D-Day. The analogy conjures powerful imagery of brave, selfless Americans laying down their lives in a fight of good versus evil. Like D-Day, “Liberation Day” has caused suffering and chaos, as even a cursory look at the stock market, bond market, and world headlines will confirm. But to what end? And with the 90-day pause announced, what should the future look like?

Richard Alan Ryerson’s excellent opening essay starts this forum off on a firm footing by explaining the immediate causes of Lexington and Concord. This is not a shock as no scholar has studied the coming of the Revolution in Massachusetts and the role of its famous son, John Adams, more than Ryerson.

On March 18, 2025, President Trump dismissed the two remaining Democrat Commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission. This represented a shattering of both tradition and legal precedent. If you asked any Republican member of the FTC what he or she thinks about presidential control over independent agencies, you would likely get the same answer that Mark Meador provided at his confirmation hearing.

Daniel Mahoney’s book is an incisive analysis of ideological thinking and its lasting effects on the West. When, in 1969, I travelled through Afghanistan (this was in the days of good King Zahir Shah, good certainly by comparison with all who came after him), it never occurred to me, callow as I was, that the country might be transformed any time soon into, say, a Scandinavian-style social democracy.

with Daniel J. Mahoney, hosted by James M. Patterson What Solzhenitsyn called “the ideological lie” was not limited to a single country, government, or movement. And it did not, unfortunately, die off in 1989.
