  • The Jacques Barzun Award Lecture
    PERNICIOUS AMNESIA: COMBATING THE EPIDEMIC Response to the Conferral of the Inaugural Jacques Barzun Award The American Academy for Liberal Education Washington, D.C. 8 November 1997 Jaroslav Pelikan Sterling Professor Emeritus Yale University The Jacques Barzun Award for Outstanding Contributions to Liberal Education The American Academy for Liberal Education is proud to establish the Jacques Barzun Award, honoring outstanding contributions to liberal education. Named in honor of one of the Academy’s founders, and its honorary chairman, Jacques Barzun, the award recognizes and celebrates qualities of scholarship and leadership in liberal education so perfectly embodied by Dr. Barzun himself. A distinguished scholar, teacher, author, and university administrator (he served for twelve years as Dean of Faculties and Provost of Columbia University), Jacques Barzun is internationally known as one of our most thoughtful commentators on the cultural history of the modern period. Among his most recent books are Critical Questions (a collection of his essays from 1940-1980), A Stroll With William James, and A Word or Two Before You Go. He has reflected on contemporary education in Begin Here: The Forgotten Conditions of Teaching and Learning, Teacher in America, and The American University, How it Runs, Where it is Going. Even a full recounting of Jacques Barzun’s forty or so books and translations, or of his many honors (he is a member of the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts) would fail to do full justice to the extent of Barzun’s influence on liberal education in this country.

  • The Age of Decadence - the New York Times
    17/8/2020 Opinion | The Age of Decadence - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2UDjIWu Opinion The Age of Decadence Cut the drama. The real story of the West in the 21st century is one of stalemate and stagnation. By Ross Douthat An Opinion columnist and the author of the forthcoming book “The Decadent Society,” from which this essay is adapted. Feb. 7, 2020 Everyone knows that we live in a time of constant acceleration, of vertiginous change, of transformation or looming disaster everywhere you look. Partisans are girding for civil war, robots are coming for our jobs, and the news feels like a multicar pileup every time you fire up Twitter. Our pessimists see crises everywhere; our optimists insist that we’re just anxious because the world is changing faster than our primitive ape-brains can process. But what if the feeling of acceleration is an illusion, conjured by our expectations of perpetual progress and exaggerated by the distorting filter of the internet? What if we — or at least we in the developed world, in America and Europe and the Pacific Rim — really inhabit an era in which repetition is more the norm than invention; in which stalemate rather than revolution stamps our politics; in which sclerosis afflicts public institutions and private life alike; in which new developments in science, new exploratory projects, consistently underdeliver? What if the meltdown at the Iowa caucuses, an antique system undone by pseudo-innovation and incompetence, was much more emblematic of our age than any great catastrophe or breakthrough? The truth of the first decades of the 21st century, a truth that helped give us the Trump presidency but will still be an important truth when he is gone, is that we probably aren’t entering a 1930-style crisis for Western liberalism or hurtling forward toward transhumanism or extinction.

  • Reflections on Teaching and Learning Jacques Barzun
    Reflections on Teaching and Learning Jacques Barzun Editor's Note: Jacques Barzun, one of the eminent scholars of our time, examines the current state of American education in a new book appearing this spring: Begin Here: The Forgotten Conditions of Teaching and Learning (The University of Chicago Press). This collection of fifteen newly edited and introduced essays covers a wide range of subjects. What follows are the introductions to three essays that he felt would be of particular interest to our readers. We thank Prof. Barzun and The University of Chicago Press for their interest in having these pieces appear in our pages. Why Go to College? To the incoming freshman, college used to be a revelation-of freedom, of his own maturity, of high seriousness in things of the mind. In most cases the boy or girl had never been away from home and was now alone responsible for the use of time and resources, no longer pupil but student. He or she was called Mr. or Miss in class, without irony. The whole intellectual landscape was new: here were grave faculty members, friendly but not chummy, devoting a good many hours a week to teaching certain definite matters of agreed importance and also doing that mysterious thing "research." It seemed to give their words the authority they claimed and did not hesitate to exercise. This enchanting new atmosphere found its counterpart in the work to be done-many hours of reading in real books, written by adults for adults, who were deemed capable of understanding all the words and of singling out the important points to re- member.
