ISI Western Civilization Fellowship
Deadline for Western Civilization Fellowships is February 15th of the year in which they will be awarded.
Early in this century, Jose Ortega y Gassett observed that the mere preservation of a high culture requires the deployment of "incalculably subtle powers." Still greater effort and imagination seem called for today, when the academic guardians of culture have committed themselves to questionable theories that deny the very possibility of knowledge. An enthusiasm for pedagogic multiculturalism has led the professoriate in search of wisdom seemingly everywhere except in their own Western Tradition. Yet very often the ethical "discoveries" made turn out to be nothing but debased forms of originally Western ideas.
Late in the modern age, we have become so alienated from our tradition that the West is terra incognita to us. The Western Tradition constitutes a fragile achievement that liberal ironists ignore at their peril. The ISI Western Civilization Fellowship Program is designed to address our culture’s loss of memory by supporting at the graduate level the study of the institutions, values, and history of the West. The intricate process of renewing our civilization will be immeasurably aided by a new generation of scholars who value the Western heritage.
