The Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy

Ronald J. Pestritto Jr., rpestritto@hillsdale.edu (Hillsdale College)

The Claremont Institute is dedicated to the study of the principles of the American founding and to enhancing and maintaining an understanding of those principles in the academy and in the public mind. The Institute understands this mission in broad terms, and is thus interested in the tradition of political philosophy that was read by the founders and that influenced their thinking, as well as issues in contemporary American politics and foreign policy that might be informed by the principles of the Founding. The Institute sponsors panels and roundtables at the annual meeting that explore these themes; interested parties should contact Institute Senior Fellow Ronald J. Pestritto (rpestritto@hillsdale.edu), who serves as organizer for these panels.
