Synopsis

Liberties is a quarterly journal of serious, stylish, and controversial essays on culture and politics.

In the Fall 2025 issue: Jackson Arn on the mindless expansion of art museums; David Greenberg on the nonsense of “neoliberalism”; Ryan Ruby on literary canons here and elsewhere; Julia Kieserman on privacy and the pill; Vanessa Garcia on love and first responders; Henry Oliver on Shakespeare’s mothers; Cass R. Sunstein on what AI cannot do, now or ever; James P. Rubin on the Democrats and the fight for American foreign policy; Michael Walzer on unlikely meetings with uncommonly interesting people; Paul Reitter on Marx’s adventures in mimesis; Paul North on the inner life of things made and traded; Anna Ballan on womanly ecstasy according to Charlotte Brontë; Robert Rubsam on Yasunari Kawabata’s art of distance; Didi Tal on “I Am an American Day”; Yahia Lababidi on the startling intensity of Blaise Pascal; Fateme Karimkhan in Tehran under fire; Celeste Marcus on the revolutionary synagogue; and Leon Wieseltier on the shopkeeper who gave him the gift of doubt.

As well as poetry from John Berryman and Myles Zavelo.

Liberties features essays from leading op-ed writers and scholars, award-winning writers, the next generation’s rising talent, and poets from around the world—there’s a reason why cultural warriors, political leaders, opinion makers, and engaged citizens from across the political and cultural spectrum read and cherish Liberties.
