Educating for Liberty: Inspiring college students to discover, embrace, and advance the principles and virtues that make America free and prosperous
Since 1953 the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) has been teaching future leaders the timeless principles that make America free and prosperous—the core ideas behind the free market, the American Founding, and Western civilization that are rarely taught in the classroom.
Today ISI has more than 10,000 student members on some 1,500 campuses across the country. The Institute reaches these and thousands of other young people through an integrated program of campus speakers, conferences, seminars, publications, student groups, and fellowships and scholarships, along with a rich repository of online resources.
ISI was the brainchild of journalist Frank Chodorov. In two articles written in the early 1950s, he called for a “fifty-year project” to revive the American ideals of individual freedom and personal responsibility “by implanting the idea in the minds of the coming generations.” In 1953 Chodorov founded ISI expressly for that purpose. He chose a young Yale University graduate, William F. Buckley Jr., as ISI’s first president.
Through six decades ISI has a proven record of developing principled leaders in all corners of American society, including higher education, public service, the media, and business and finance. President Ronald Reagan said, “By the time the Reagan Revolution marched into Washington, I had the troops I needed—thanks in no small measure to the work with American youth ISI had been doing since 1953.”
ISI is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, tax-exempt educational organization. The Institute relies on the financial support of the general public—individuals, foundations, and corporations—and receives no funding or any other aid from any level of the government.
Leadership for America's Future Campaign
Freedom can perish. Chodorov and Buckley founded ISI with this realization in mind. Today, the threats to liberty are growing. Worse, America’s colleges and universities are failing in their responsibility to transmit America’s founding principles to the next generation of leaders. Responding to these dangers, in the fall of 2011 ISI launched the Leadership for America’s Future campaign, the most focused effort in the Institute’s long history. With this three-year campaign, ISI is not only expanding its reach and impact on campuses across the country; it is also achieving critical mass at 150 carefully selected target colleges through a multifaceted, community-building approach.
 A Student's Guide to Music History"Stove's opinions are grounded in sanity and developed with common sense. Fourteen compsers are accorded detailed biographical treatment apart from the main text, and they are the right ones… R.J. Stove can be mentioned in the same breath as Neville Cardus. And his Student's Guide to Music History can be recommended not only to music students, but to anyone who cares about the great European tradition in music."

Beauty Will Save the World offers a revealing introduction to the artists and thinkers who are the Christian humanists of the modern era, from well-known figures like Evelyn Waugh and Wendell Berry to lesser-known authors like Shusaku Endo, Andrew Lytle, and Geoffrey Hill.

 Did Muhammad Exist?Did Muhammad Exist? is a sober but unflinching look at the origins of one of the world’s major religions. While Judaism and Christianity have been subjected to searching historical criticism for more than two centuries, Islam has never received the same treatment on any significant scale. The real story of Muhammad and early Islam has long remained in the shadows. Robert Spencer brings it into the light at long last. |

 Freedom and Virtue: The Conservative/Libertarian DebateLike no other single work, Freedom and Virtue explores what unites and divides the adherents of these two important American traditions—shedding much light on our current political landscape. |
 Geography of Good and Evil, TheContrary to the fashionable view in the Western world, good and evil are objective aspects of the world, contends the Dutch philosopher Andreas Kinneging in this latest entry in ISI's Crosscurrents series. Kinneging lays out the metaphysical and epistemological foundations of virtue and vice and discusses the merits of alternative moral notions, such as "duties" and "rights." He contrasts the traditional, natural law view of the family with the modern view.

 God, Man, and HollywoodHollywood has long been far to the left of the general American public. Even in movies that have no overt political content, the social and moral assumptions in films rated from GP to R are apt to be at odds with the deeply held values of many in the viewing audience. But that’s not the whole story, argues the literary and cultural critic Mark Royden Winchell. A surprising number of films articulate culturally unfashionable attitudes -- and it is from these movies that we learn the most about our society, and ourselves.

 Miss BetseyLong a Marxist and briefly a feminist, Elizabeth (Betsey) Fox-Genovese converted to Catholicism in 1994 and became an exceptionally strong voice for the culture of life and the rights of the unborn. When she died in January 2007 at age sixty-five, she was Eléanore Raoul Professor of the Humanities at Emory University, where she had founded the Women’s Studies Program and trained a record number of Ph.D.s in several departments. In "Miss Betsey," Eugene Genovese — Betsey’s husband of thirty-seven years and an equally accomplished scholar — movingly tells the story of their courtship, life together, and professional and political collaboration.

 On the Meaning of SexAcclaimed philosopher J. Budziszewski's wise, gracefully written book about the nature, meaning, and mysteries of sexuality corrects the most prevalent errors about sex in our times, particularly the errors of the sexual revolution which by mistaking pleasure for a good in itself has caused untold pain and suffering. In restoring the meaning and purpose of sex, the author reclaims what Dante calls “the intelligence of love.” |

 Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your ChildPlay dates, soccer practice, day care, political correctness, drudgery without facts, television, video games, constant supervision, endless distractions: these and other insidious trends in child rearing and education are now the hallmarks of childhood. As author Anthony Esolen demonstrates in this elegantly written, often wickedly funny book, almost everything we are doing to children now constricts their imaginations, usually to serve the ulterior motives of the constrictors.

 The Closing of the Muslim MindIn this eye-opening book, foreign policy expert Robert R. Reilly uncovers the root of our contemporary crisis: a pivotal struggle waged within the Muslim world nearly a millennium ago. In a heated battle over the role of reason, the side of irrationality won. The deformed theology that resulted produced the spiritual pathology of Islamism, and a deeply dysfunctional culture. |
