  Lincoln’s Warning for American Democracy | Diana Schaub

  Aug 11, 20261h 12m

  At just 28 years old, Abraham Lincoln delivered a startling warning about the future of American self-government. In this UATX lecture, Diana Schaub uncovers the deeper argument of Lincoln’s 1838 Lyceum Address, and why its diagnosis of political passion, ambition, and democratic decline feels uncannily relevant today. What does it really take to preserve liberty? And are Americans still capable of it? Diana Schaub is Professor Emerita of Political Science at Loyola University Maryland and a non-resident Senior Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. She was the Garwood Teaching Fellow at Princeton University in 2011-12 and Visiting Professor of Political Theory in the Government Department at Harvard University in 2018, 2020, and 2022. She is the author of a book on Montesquieu, along with numerous articles in the fields of political philosophy and American political thought. She is a coeditor (with Amy and Leon Kass) of What So Proudly We Hail: The American Soul in Story, Speech, and Song.

  Ecclesiastes, Part VI: What Does It All Mean? | J.J. Kimche

  Jul 28, 202637 min

  This is part six of a six-part series on Ecclesiastes, the Bible’s great philosopher. How did a book this strange ever make it into the Bible? In this final lecture, Professor J.J. Kimche traces the remarkable afterlife of Ecclesiastes, from the rabbis who nearly buried it to the long line of illustrious readers who reshaped it in their own image: St. Jerome, Rashbam, Martin Luther, Moses Mendelssohn, and Albert Camus. Each one found a different Ecclesiastes staring back at them—a heretic or a saint, a skeptic or a sage. Kimche explains why Ecclesiastes belongs on every bookshelf. J.J. Kimche is Assistant Professor Religion and Philosophy at the University of Austin (UATX). An Englishman by upbringing and an intellectual historian by training, Kimche's work explores the intersections of European philosophy, Jewish thought, and the evolving trajectory of religious ideas in the modern West.
