I think that these Yuval Levin posts on civil society and politics go along very well this recent Gabriel Rossman post over at The American Scene. Rossman’s post is especially good at thinking through how the left conceives of the government as the primary avenue for dealing with our relational natures and the dangers posed by intermediary institutions to people who think “government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together”.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
