Pileus is a group of scholars who examine public policy and philosophy in light of our respective disciplines. We differ in many ways but share a commitment to liberty and personal responsibility.

In ancient Rome, a pileus was a felt cap given to slaves upon receiving their freedom. Since then, this simple cap has been a powerful symbol of liberty.
For those not initiated, West Coasters looooooove Lincoln.
And Jaffa’s best book (by far) is titled “Crisis of the House Divided.”
