Featured Liberty Fund Conference Readings | We invite you to explore the carefully selected readings of recent Liberty Fund Socratic-style conferences.

Liberty and liberal learning face unprecedented challenges. Dialogue and civilized conversation are increasingly overshadowed by emotional sensitivities, political correctness, and even notions of “epistemic justice.” This shift risks advancing relativism, undermining the foundation of classical education rooted in historical wisdom and genuine tolerance. Our recent conference, Liberty and Liberal Education, explored classic texts in the liberal tradition on education and highlighted innovative institutions emerging to address these modern challenges.
