First Principles: A Primer of Ideas for the College-Bound Student

Students entering college will encounter differing viewpoints on primary questions concerning our society. What is the role of government in our everyday lives? Should the United States actively battle Communist governments? How should we deal with poverty?

If they don’t think through these issues, students will tend to adopt for themselves whatever their professors or the majority of other students believe.

In this unique book, Hewitt helps students reach their own conclusions – and gives them the tools to defend their ideas. Serious students, educators, and parents can use First Principles to formulate and strengthen thinking on issues which are crucial to all of us.
