Donald Livingston and the Southern Intellectual Tradition
I owe a debt I cannot pay. One of the most intriguing and brilliant men I know is Donald Livingston. Don taught philosophy at Emory University, and is a world-class David Hume scholar. He is the founder of the Abbeville Institute, and is simply a wonderful man. For many years now, Don has explored, explicated, and communicated the strengths and weaknesses of the southern intellectual tradition. I have benefitted from his insights for a number of years. His excellent essay Don wrote for Modern Age, titled, "The Southern Tradition and Limited Government," is attached.
