Description
The American Mind, a publication of the Claremont Institute, is an online journal of ideas devoted to defending and renewing the principles of the American Founding in the twenty-first century. It exists to clarify the moral and philosophical truths that form the foundation of free government and human dignity, and to expose the errors and ideologies that threaten them.
Through long-form essays, incisive commentary, podcasts, and multimedia features, The American Mind explores the great questions of our time—the future of liberty, the meaning of citizenship, the nature of justice, and the purpose of America itself. Its contributors include leading scholars, writers, and public intellectuals committed to honest inquiry and vigorous debate on topics spanning politics, culture, religion, philosophy, education, and technology.
More than a magazine, The American Mind serves as a forum for renewal, where readers encounter arguments grounded in reason, faith, and the timeless wisdom of the Founders. Each piece seeks not only to critique but to build—to recover the intellectual and moral confidence that once animated American life.
By fostering spirited conversation, encouraging independent thought, and reconnecting citizens to the enduring truths of the Western tradition, The American Mind advances the mission of the Claremont Institute: to teach the true meaning of the American idea and prepare its defenders for the challenges
