The Wynnewood Institute is an academic, non-profit organization in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. It was founded by Thomas Patrick Burke, an author and professor of religion, and incorporated in 2003.[1] The Wynnewood Institute seeks to explore the relationship between Western civilization with its concept of free society and the traditional Muslim world in a post-9/11 era. The Institute is non-partisan and its philosophical perspective is classical liberalism and conservatism.
The Wynnewood Institute offers courses, seminars, and public lectures by visiting speakers. The Institute sponsors research that promotes a better understanding of Western civilization, especially in areas related to classical liberal and conservative thought, concerned with basic questions of justice, human rights and civil rights, and the implications of science for human values.[2]
The inaugural lecture, “The Defense of the West: How to Begin,” by English philosopher Roger Scruton, was held on April 12, 2005.[3][4] Other lecturers have included M. Stanton Evans, Richard A. Epstein, Robert P. George, Victor Davis Hanson, Roger Kimball, David Legates, John Lukacs, Harvey Mansfield, Daniel J. Mitchell, Robert Moffit, Amity Shlaes, Leonard Swidler, Arthur Waldron, and Thomas Patrick Burke.[5]
