The Center on Ethics and the University studies the relationship between personal virtue and democratic life in a free society by drawing on the abundant resources of the natural law tradition. These resources are made very much in-house through the research programs of the Institute, which support scholarship in the areas of the social sciences, moral and political philosophy, and jurisprudence. The Center focuses on helping students of all ages to explore the ways in which virtue and character promote human flourishing. To that end, the Center organizes the Schreyer Summer Seminars, a collection of summer programs offered in Princeton, NJ. The Center also aims to revive the understanding of the liberal arts education as a moral enterprise. It provides resources to Fellows and other scholars who have created, or are in the process of creating, university programs that endeavor to restore the moral purposes of education grounded in the intellectual virtues of charity, integrity, and freedom of inquiry.
