He emphasizes the role of "little platoons" in civil society, like family and private associations, in nurturing these virtues.
Robert P. George, holder of Princeton’s McCormick Professorship of Jurisprudence, stresses the importance of civic virtues alongside constitutional constraints. He has a distinguished career in academia, law and public service, with numerous accolades and affiliations.
