Following up on a successful conference in Washington, DC last year, the School of Public Policy is delighted to welcome our Ronald Reagan Honorary Professor Robby George, and a diverse group of scholars to our Malibu campus to explore the arguments and impact of George’s book, Making Men Moral. At the core of George’s groundbreaking book is the case that public policy and law cannot be expected to be “neutral” on certain questions of morality. Moreover, believing that government can assume such a nonpartisan position is a false choice. Published three decades ago, the book’s defense of natural law as a more trustworthy foundation for public policy and law has influenced generations of policymakers.
