This seminar will be presented by Arthur Milikh, Executive Director of the Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life.

Science used to be the preserve of a tiny handful of scholars, but it has risen to become one of the dominant authorities in our society. How did this come about? This lecture explores how Rene Descartes (1596-1650) sought to establish a new kind of science — one that could not only understand but also transform the world.

Arthur Milikh was previously the Associate Director of the Center for American Studies at The Heritage Foundation. Prior to Heritage, he worked at the House Committee on Armed Services and at The Hudson Institute. Milikh holds a B.A. from Emory University, a Masters from the University of Chicago, and is a Ph.D. candidate at The Catholic University of America.

This public lecture is sponsored by UNO's Constitutional Studies Forum, with support by a grant from the Jack Miller Center.
