Article: Fareed Zakaria on Liberalism vs. Illiberalism (REVIEW ESSAY) - The seasoned Indian American journalist, commentator, and author Fareed Zakaria (born in Mumbai in 1964; Ph.D. in government, Harvard University, 1993) has published a timely new book, Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present (W.

Article: Adam Nicolson on Life Lessons from the Early Greeks (REVIEW ESSAY) - The prolific English author Adam Nicolson (born in 1957) writes about early Greek philosophical thought in his new 2023 book How to Be: Life Lessons from the Early Greeks (Farrar, Straus and Giroux).

Article: Walter Ong (1912-2003) on Peter Ramus (1515-1572) (REVIEW ESSAY) - My favorite scholar is the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and pioneering media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955). With the financial assistance of two Guggenheim Fellowships, he undertook a massive doctoral dissertation on the French Renaissance logician and educational reformer and Protestant martyr Peter Ramus (1515-1572) which I examine.
