Commentary (magazine)/Definition

An American magazine, founded in 1945 by Norman Podhoretz, which became increasingly involved with neoconservatism in the 1970s; its scope is opinion and intellectual life, with a general approach but a Jewish interest: "the fate of democracy and of democratic ideas in a world threatened by totalitarian ideologies; the state of American and Western security; the future of the Jews, Judaism, and Jewish culture in Israel, the United States, and around the world; and the preservation of high culture in an age of political correctness and the collapse of critical standards"
