On Manly Men

Just listened to an Intercollegiate Studies Institute lecture by Harvey C. Mansfield on the topic "Is Manliness A Virtue?" Mansfield is Professor of Government at Harvard, the author or editor of a number of books, including an excellent edition of Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America. The lecture was an excellent treatment of the social and intellectual meanings of manliness, and its place in society. Well worth a listen. Find it, as well as other excellent ISI lectures, here.
