Monday Musings: 'The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth'

A conversation via Zoom moderated by Adam Davis and Steve Vogel with contributing writer at The Atlantic and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution Jonathan Rauch about his new book, “The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth.” While charting the alarming rise of disinformation in the digital age and its corrosive effects on democratic culture, Rauch shares historical precedents, and offers positive practical measures that every concerned American can take. He will explain why he believes universities must play a central role in promoting intellectual pluralism and freedom of thought, thereby helping to sustain liberal society.
