Reawakening the Enduring Wisdom of Orestes Brownson
The foundation is committed to preserving and promoting Brownson’s legacy, illuminating his contribution to American political thought and philosophy, inspiring informed dialogue on our nation’s principles and future.
Although his intellect was nationally recognized during his lifetime, Brownson was denied a place in the American Pantheon. Interest in his writings and thought has risen and waned since his son’s biography in 1906 but has failed to become mainstream. We are a band of Brownson experts and enthusiasts who are determined to establish his reputation as one of the greatest thinkers the United States has ever produced.
