Yuval Levin Books

Yuval Levin is one of the most important conservative intellectuals of his generation, so his books are worth reading almost regardless of the topic. But The Fractured Republic stands on its own as an indispensable piece of work' - Jonah Goldberg

Exploring the intersection of science and human affairs, this book critically examines the assumption that scientific methods can effectively address social and political issues. It questions the philosophical validity of applying scientific logic to human studies and investigates its impact on our understanding of society. The text also delves into how various modern ideologies, some linked to significant 20th-century atrocities, have co-opted the language of science. Aimed at lay readers and students, it offers insights into the implications of these assumptions for contemporary society and politics.

In a Burkean manner, Mr. Levin enriches through wisdom rather than prescription. He gives us something more than a manual of past lessons-namely, the historical framework to achieve greater understanding.-Wall Street Journal

The book explores the relationship between science, technology, and American democracy, highlighting the differing perspectives of liberals and conservatives. It delves into how each side interprets the role of science in shaping tradition and envisioning the future, providing a critical analysis of their ideological approaches. Through this examination, the author sheds light on the broader implications for society and governance.

A leading conservative thinker argues that our politics have been paralyzed by nostalgia,and that both parties must quickly adapt to our modern world if they hope to survive.
