Let's Be Reasonable
A Conservative Case for Liberal Education
Jonathan Marks
"Let's Be Reasonable" is a thought-provoking defense of liberal education by conservative professor, Jonathan Marks. Using the ideas of John Locke and others, Marks argues that the true purpose of college is to encourage people to be reasonable, and why the health of our democracy is at stake. He reveals why conservative nightmare visions of liberal persecution and indoctrination bear little resemblance to what actually goes on in college classrooms. This book offers a compelling case for why conservatives must not give up on higher education and shows why reason is more than just a tool for scoring political points.
