Harvey Mansfield, Harvard University
Council 2004-06

Harvey C. Mansfield, '53, the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Government, studies and teaches political philosophy.  He has written on Edmund Burke and the nature of political parties, on Machiavelli and the invention of indirect government, in defense of a defensible liberalism, and in favor of a constitutional American political science.  He has also written on the discovery and development of the theory of executive power, and is a translator of Machiavelli and Tocqueville.  He just completed a book on manliness.  He was chairman of the government department from 1973 to 1977, has held Guggenheim and NEH Fellowships, and was on the Advisory Council of the NEH.   He has hardly left Harvard since his first arrival in 1949, and has been on the faculty since 1962.  Some people, with some reason, call him a conservative.
