Listen Later

Join Jeff Polet, PhD for a discussion regarding the importance of Rousseau's Confessions.

Jeff Polet is Professor of Political Science Emeritus at Hope College and currently director of The Ford Leadership Forum at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation. He also serves as a Senior Fellow at the Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal. He is currently writing a book that reinterprets "The Federalist" in light of Anti-federalists arguments against ratification of the Constitution.

About the podcast:

We all know we need to read more and there are literally millions of books on shelves with new ones printed every day. How do we sort through all the possibilities to find the book that is just right for us now?

Well, the McConnell Center is bringing authors and experts to inspire us to read impactful and entertaining books that might be on our shelves or in our e-readers, but which we haven't yet picked up.

We hope you learn a lot in the following podcast and we hope you might be inspired to pick up one or more of the books we are highlighting this year at the University of Louisville's McConnell Center.
