Editor R. R. Reno is joined by contributing editor Mark Bauerlein to talk about his article from the March print edition, “Purveyors of Truth.” They discuss the origins of theory in postwar Germany, the exhilaration of being a young scholar during theory’s heyday, and the unfortunate decline in the humanities as theory has been co-opted by diversity bureaucrats.
