First published in 1981, the 2023 edition of The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien, revised and expanded edition, adds 150 letters to the previous correspondence collection and it unfolds, even more than was evident before, a life well lived. His was a life driven by love of family, an extraordinary imagination, and an indefatigable work ethic.

The year 2023 was not a good one for the humanities and the liberal arts. A number of public universities, such as West Virginia University, continued the decade-old trend of slashing the humanities disciplines in order to meet budget shortfalls. Something must go, after all, if a university is facing enrollment declines (and obviously it’s not going to be administrators’ salaries).

On December 22, as New York’s LaGuardia Airport was filled with holiday travelers, Tommy Dorfman, an actor who played a gay male on the Netflix teen drama “Thirteen Reasons Why” but then “came out” as a transgender female in 2021, held up the Delta line as “she” denounced an airplane employee for having intentionally “misgendered” her.

It took only a few days following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel for considerable anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment (as well as vandalism and attacks on persons) to emerge in the US as well as other parts of the world. There was indeed sympathy and support for Israel but also a striking amount of vitriol and undisguised anti-Semitism—continuing even now.

Is the future of the National Football League’s Super Bowl linked with the future of American democracy? The Super Bowl may seem to some like an overly commercialized sports championship game, but it holds considerable cultural significance.

February 7, 2024 The legal dispute between DHS and Texas has a number of moving parts that have been lost in the hyperbolic public discussion.

Abbott of Texas should simply distribute the text of Federal District Chief Judge Alia Moses’ devastating written decision.

Aaron Zubia has written the next great book on David Hume. The conventionally-titled book—The Political Thought of David Hume: The Origins of Liberalism and the Modern Political Imagination—is unconventional in its framing, brilliant in its methods, morally serious in its ambitions, and deeply philosophic in its orientation. Hume illuminates the crisis of liberal modernity—and Zubia spreads breadcrumbs to follow for people looking for a way out.
