K. Williams; Carlos Fraenkel on pain, happiness, and an ancient dispute; Jennie Lightweis-Goff on how Stephen Foster helped invent us all; Patrick Mackie on why Naples is the most musical city in the world; Abhrajyoti Chakraborty on the brutal genius of Saadat Hasan Manto; Justin Smith-Ruiu on the wartime career of analytic philosophy; Michael Kimmage on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s foolishness and profundity; Mischa Shuman on saying farewell to a cruel father; Greg Gerke contemplates Rembrandt at the Met; Morten Høi Jensen on why foreign students may never aspire to come to America again; Celeste Marcus reports from the West Bank on Israeli settler terrorism; and Leon Wieseltier on Trump’s moronic and dangerous war on culture. As well as poetry from Henri Cole and Paul Pastor. Liberties features essays from leading op-ed writers and scholars, award-winning writers, the next generation’s rising talent, and poets from around the world—there’s a reason why cultural warriors, political leaders, opinion makers, and engaged citizens from across the political and cultural spectrum read and cherish Liberties.
