About Wilson Quarterly Magazine: Since 1976, the Wilson Quarterly Magazine has provided a nonpartisan and nonideological window on the world of ideas. By presenting the best writing and thinking of academics, specialists, and others to a broad audience, it aims to overcome the specialization and information overload that prevent the public from following developments in significant realms of knowledge. The magazine ranges over many subject areas but always with an eye to public questions: issues in politics and policy, culture, religion, science, and other fields that bear upon our public life.
