Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient Sidney Hook
SIDNEY HOOK
Awarded by
President Ronald Reagan
May 23, 1985
Scholar, philosopher, and thinker--Sidney Hook stands out as one of the most eminent intellectual forces of our time. His commitment to rational thought and civil discourse has made him an eloquent spokesman for fair play in public life. His devotion to freedom made him one of the first to warn the intellectual world of its moral obligations and personal stake in the struggle between freedom and totalitarianism. A man of truth, a man of action, Sidney Hook's life and work make him one of America's greatest scholars, patriots, and lovers of liberty.
