Resumen del Editor

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.

Excellent exploration of the ideas and trends that got us here, and hope for the future

I've been recommended many books by Esolen, but this is the first I've gotten around to reading. A fantastic exploration of the culture and foundations of western civilization. I need to re read slowly and take notes this time, it's very rich, and sometimes the connections/quotes/concepts come so quickly and closer together that I can't follow my own thoughts if I want to keep going to follow Esolen. Great read, and an important read for our time.

insightful book read by a terrific reader.

Professor Esolen has written a gem that reminds us of the foundations of the Judeo-Christian West. While he notes that these foundations have been gravely shaken in the past few hundred years, he is still hopeful for it.

An education in the lost teachings of Man

I loved it. A must read for those who are interested in what has been lost in society due to the removal of the teachings of history, and all that there is to learn from it. We can never know where we're going without the examination of where we have been.

Got a little too preachy towards the end.

Got a little too preachy towards the end. Enjoying these Politically Incorrect books overall, though, very informative.

Makes me Love America, Europe, and the West

It’s interesting engaging and full of insights that lead one to appreciate the treasure that has western civilization. Despite much apparent decline Anthony Esolen gives hope for its revival to those who live in the PC West.

I know literature very well. and this a fine overview of ideas that helped engender or were produced by these books.

Like his unflinching and frank arguments within scope of this book, and his willingness to state clearly his ideological and theological perspective.

Profound survey of history

Everyone should listen to this. Thoughtful survey of western history, philosophy, art, and many other aspects of cultural life.

History as it should be told.

A penetrating analysis of history, and how it's lessons have been distorted. He looks carefully at what and why we are in the moral mess we are in today.
