as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil." -C. S.
Lewis Acknowledging moral and natural law lays the foundation
for personal temperance, and particularly for any hope of a
self-disciplined government hesitant to overstep the limited
powers entrusted to it. This is the great counterweight against
the hubris of Nietzsche, Marx and others who declare that man is
but a god unto himself, and the inevitable abuses that ensue.
This humble perspective is central to statesmanship, and the
source of unwavering courage and lasting influence. GWU is a
nonsectarian institution of higher learning rooted firmly in the
Western tradition. An important segment of that tradition is
historically based in Judeo-Christianity.
