Project Cosmos: Conversations on the Future of Civilization

Project Cosmos is a new series from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) that brings together leading thinkers for candid, in-depth conversations about politics, culture, history, and the fate of the American regime.

Hosted in an informal, living-room setting, each episode feels less like a panel discussion and more like stepping inside a private exchange among some of today’s most influential intellectuals. Together, they explore urgent questions:

• What is the common good in 21st-century America?
• Has liberalism failed, and what comes after it?
• Can the administrative state be reformed—or must it be dismantled?
• Should Americans embrace a stronger executive power?
• What lessons can we learn from Rome, the Founders, and modern history?

From executive authority and Caesarism to community, culture, and the role of elites, Project Cosmos offers unfiltered discussions at the highest level.
