Acerca de esta escucha

For over two millennia in the West, familiarity with the literature, philosophy, and values of the Classical World has been synonymous with education itself. The traditions of the Greeks explain why Western Culture’s unique tenets of democracy, capitalism, civil liberty, and constitutional government are now sweeping the globe. Yet the general public in America knows less about its cultural origins than ever before, as Classical education rapidly disappears from our high school and university curricula.

Acclaimed classicists Hanson and Heath raise an impassioned call to arms: if we lose our knowledge of the Greeks, we lose our understanding of who we are. With straightforward advice and informative reading lists, the authors present a highly useful primer for anyone who wants more knowledge of Classics, and thus of the beauty and perils of our own culture.

Interesting and entertaining book. Most excellent narrator. Red meat of a certain sort. (The sort I most like.) You will laugh, lament, and be invigorated.

Perfect

Any book by Victor Davis Hanson is always enlightening, educational, a deep dive into Western Civilization (positive aspects)and expands your knowledge. I listened to the audible version to find a path to research what else to read about our civilization and the Greeks gift to us.

VDH is always entertaining and educational.

A very interesting book. I studied the Greek Language in college as a Theology student. However have not studied as much Greek culture or history. I agree with his perspective on the American education system. A bit long but definitely educational.

Very Interesting !

The authors offers a sound and well-thought review of how what were lead us to become what we have become and how we we have lost are leading to are ruin. This is a book everyone should and the act on, in every town, city, county, and state in the country - to restore our education system to it's roots and to declare once and for all our single cultural identity... before it's too late.

What Made Us Strong

The authors spend the fist 4/5s of the book detailing how the study of Classics has lost its way but they provide an in-depth and holistic solution on how to rebuild the academy in the last fifth.

Solutions, not just complaints

This book is a searing indictment of a whole generation of careerist "Classicists" who have done incalculable damage to the cause of Classical wisdom in our lifetime. The book is well written and researched and presents a pragmatic picture of the state of Classical Studies in today's Western academic milieu. That said, this book is also an inspirational clarion call to arms for those inclined to gird themselves in the panoply of Greek wisdom, and who burn to spread the fire of Greek learning far and wide. If this book doesn't goad you into action, nothing will.

Our left wing academics have walked away from liberal ideas and the freedoms of Western culture. They have adopted fascist policies and Maoist tactics in promoting irrationality to college students.

Victor Hanson and John Heath were so Prophetic
