ISI is committed to providing you with intellectual conservative content to help you understand America’s principles more deeply. We are proud of our liberal arts tradition and think it is foundational to becoming a good citizen and a good person. As Leo Strauss said, “Liberal education reminds those members of a mass democracy who have ears to hear, of human greatness.” That is our goal at ISI to form the next great American.
