Table Talk

History is Our Responsibility


Monday, April 26, 6pm

with Craig Eisendrath.

Eisendrath is a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy and a former foreign service officer. In two recent books, Eisendrath writes about our responsibility to speak out and work to make the world a place where we want to live. In “At War With Time,” he proposes that recent advances in the sciences and in social thought make a sharp break with earlier ideas, requiring that we embrace change and political activism. In “Bush League Diplomacy,” he and co-author Melvin A. Goodman show how the present administration has embarked upon a new foreign policy which is putting the world at risk. Together they demand that we assume responsibility for our history. Eisendrath served as director of the Pennsylvania Humanities Council for many years and is co-founder of the National Constitution Center.
