Nominations sous haute surveillance au Comité d'éthique. Review of Robert Post's 'Democracy, Expertise, Academic Freedom' Robert C. Post’s Democracy, Expertise, Academic Freedom , published by Yale University Press , is a succinct and tightly argued book, and its subtitle, “A First Amendment Jurisprudence for the Modern State,” clearly signals a calm sobriety that can't be taken for granted. It covers topics that typically provoke controversy more often than thought.

Academic freedom and the First Amendment come up for discussion, most of the time, when some conflict is under way, with the ideological battle lines already drawn. The editorials on either side write themselves. And that’s to be expected. Knee-jerk reactions are a pretty shabby substitute for civic virtue, but it’s not like you can respond to every dispute in the public sphere by arguing from first principles. Post, who is dean of the Yale Law School, is not writing in that rut.

Rather than indulge in the columnist’s privilege of going off on tangents, let me offer a précis of the book, followed by some very brief remarks. 03. ‎berggruen.org/files/thinklong/2011/blueprint_to_renew_ca.pdf.
