The Institute for Humane Studies is pleased to announce
a revival of its on-line journal, HUMANE STUDIES REVIEW,
which can keep you and your students abreast of scholarship
in the classical liberal intellectual tradition. I hope
you will check it out at http://www.humanestudiesreview.org/.
For 40 years IHS has assisted students and scholars who
are interested in the classical liberal tradition of individual
rights, limited government, markets, peace, and tolerance.
In addition to providing financial, educational, and career
assistance, IHS seeks to encourage understanding and scholarship
through vehicles such as HUMANE STUDIES REVIEW.
Under the new editorship of Amy H. Sturgis, HSR continues
a tradition of bridging academic disciplines by featuring
and discussing the latest scholarship in bibliographic essays,
articles, and reviews. In the Fall 2000 issue you will
find:
* A bibliographic essay by law professor Todd Zywicki on
a burgeoning area of research, "Evolutionary Biology and
the Social Sciences"
* A feature article by UC Berkeley graduate student Robert
Taylor looking at liberalism and democracy in three disparate
thinkers, Habermas, Rawls, and Constant
* A "sneak peek" excerpt from a new book by historian Hans
Eicholz, "Harmonizing Sentiments: The Declaration of Independence and
the Jeffersonian Idea of Self-Government"
* Reviews of "Constitutional Interpretation" and "Constitutional
Construction" by Princeton political theorist Keith Whittington,
"From Mutual Aid to the Welfare State" by historian David
Beito, "Taxing America" by Julian Zelizer, and "The Driving
Force of the Market: Essays in Austrian Economics" by Israel
Kirzner.
HSR Editor Amy H. Sturgis has had an ongoing relationship
with the Institute for Humane Studies since her undergraduate
days, when she participated in an IHS Liberty & Society
summer seminar. While completing her Ph.D. in history at
Vanderbilt University, she received fellowship support from
the Institute, and now serves on the faculty at some of
our summer seminars. As a graduate student she served as
Scholarly Articles Editor of the student journal "LockeSmith
Review."
The expanded and modernized online HSR
(http://www.humanestudiesreview.org) will be published three times a
year and includes a search function, opportunities to comment on
select features, and links to help you and your students follow up on
interesting books and research ideas.
I hope you find it a useful resource and a worthy enhancement
of the Institute's efforts to promote the study of liberty
across a broad range of disciplines, encouraging understanding,
open inquiry, rigorous scholarship, and creative problem-solving.
Sincerely,
Paul Edwards
