Claremont Authors in the Pages of The Weekly Standard

The Weekly Standard continues to print some rather fantastic articles by Claremont McKenna-affiliated writers.

I have already blogged on the article, "Mugged by Ultrasound," by David Daleiden and Professor Shields, but now it seems as if other CMC professors and alumni have been printed in its pages.

Government Professor and director of the Salvatori Center, Mark Blitz, has written a review of a book on the life and work of Martin Heidegger, a German philosopher whose close embrace of Nazism colors some of his thought and lectures. Titled, "Natural Reich," it is worth reading, especially for students who have taken Blitz's introduction to political philosophy.

Finally, John B. Kienker, managing editor of The Claremont Review of Books (where I am an employee), has written a review of Matt Spalding's We Still Hold These Truths. Unfortunately, the review is gated -- you'll need a Weekly Standard subscription -- but on the off chance that it becomes available, here's the link.

If the name Spalding sounds familiar, it ought to. Spalding is a graduate of Claremont McKenna (and Claremont Graduate University) and is the husband of CMC Washington semester program Professor Elizabeth Edwards Spalding.
