The Hedgehog Review offers critical reflections on contemporary culture: how we shape it, and how it shapes us. Published three times a year by the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture, the journal draws on the best scholarship and thought from the humanities and social sciences to craft an interdisciplinary approach that explores and illuminates the puzzles, vexations, and dilemmas that characterize the modern predicament. The Hedgehog Review advances ideas rather than ideologies. At the same time, the journal recognizes that questions of value are inescapably present in the effort to understand our world. If the modern age is characterized by dehumanization and alienation, the best scholarship can help us identify the sources of our malaise—and possibly suggest ways to address it.
On this page, you can browse a listing of the articles that The Hedgehog Review has made available as Features for Mars Hill Audio members.
