About this listen

 Western civilization is under attack. At universities and in the media, professors and pundits decry Western civilization as exploitative, destructive, and without value. But fear not: coming to its defense is this "P.I." guide to Western civilization.

Using historical evidence, Professor Anthony Esolen knocks down the relativist arguments and shows how the West laid the cornerstones for all of modern civilization, including historical, artistic, and intellectual achievements.

We owe it to history and to ourselves to acknowledge Western civilization's role in shaping our values and our world.

Through line? Too busy with quotes from others.

I am afraid I just can't take this book seriously. Sure it has some interesting perspectives but with Catholicism as the centrepiece of the argument, it gets just a little tiresome.

"We know that X is the right way to live because it's in the bible". and Look... my whole argument on this is sound because Matthew 18.whatever supports my case.

Really?

I'll be swapping this one out I think.

Its right because Jesus told us so?
