Commentary Magazine is a New York–based monthly publication focused on opinion and sustained intellectual discussion. Founded in 1945, it has consistently engaged with questions about democracy and democratic ideas in a world confronting totalitarian ideologies, the state of American and Western security, and the future of Jewish culture in Israel, the United States, and around the world, while considering how to preserve high culture amid political correctness and a perceived collapse of critical standards. During the 1970s it emerged as a leading voice in neoconservatism, reinforcing its role in American intellectual life. Its articles have been controversial at times and, in many cases, influential touchstones for debate in universities, policy analysis circles, and among professionals and activists around the world. The magazine is widely regarded as a significant contributor to American letters and intellectual life, and reading it is seen as participating in a broad national conversation. The operation is conducted by a small team based in New York.
