We’re living in a modern-day Gutenberg moment—AI, biotech, and technological innovation are reshaping society just like the printing press did centuries ago.
With these advancements, society faces radical transformations, disruption, and even violence.

The Institute for Humane Studies supports and partners with professors to promote the teaching and research of classical liberal ideas and to advance higher education’s core purpose of intellectual discovery and human progress.
Our vision is to ensure higher education becomes a place where classical liberal ideas are regularly taught, discussed, challenged, and developed, and where free speech, intellectual diversity, and open inquiry flourish.
At IHS, we believe the principles of the classical liberal tradition – including individual liberty and responsibility, limited government, economic freedom, the rule of law, free speech, and open inquiry – are the foundation of a just, peaceful, and prosperous world.
We believe for those ideas to take root, they must be taught, explored, and challenged in higher education.
