Over the last decade, America’s social sciences departments have abandoned the traditional telos of the university, the search for truth, in favor of social science put in the service of a Progressive political agenda. As a result, professors must be on guard against committing thought crimes, students clamor for protection against troubling ideas, codes limiting the free expression of ideas are routine, and ancient ideals of scholarly excellence and human virtue are derided and denounced. The result has been a form of intellectual corruption that has invaded every corner of the social sciences. Charles Murray will discuss the causes of these phenomena and prospects for the future.
Charles Murray, a prominent American political scientist affiliated with the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., co-authored (with Richard Herrnstein) the 1994 book "The Bell Curve." This book, which explored the role of IQ in society, became a landmark publication, forever changing the landscape of social science in the US and worldwide. Since its release 30 years ago, "The Bell Curve" has sparked intense debate, with Murray becoming a highly admired and controversial figure. However, his contributions extend far beyond this single book. Dr. Murray has published a series of other highly influential books and articles, as partly listed below. This extensive body of work solidifies his position as one of the most significant social thinkers of our time.
