Public Discourse is an online journal published by the Witherspoon Institute, a conservative think tank based in Princeton, New Jersey. Launched in 2009, it publishes articles, essays, and commentary on ethics, culture, law, public policy, bioethics, marriage, religious liberty, and social issues from a conservative, faith-informed perspective grounded in natural law theory and Judeo-Christian ethics. It aims to foster thoughtful public discourse on moral and cultural matters, contributing to debates in academic, religious, and policy circles, and is significant for promoting traditionalist views and amplifying voices from scholars associated with institutions like Princeton University's James Madison Program.
