Can We/Should We Save the "West"?
Description
Is the West in Decline? Is it the end of days or media hype? And what is the "West" anyways?
In this episode of Classical Wisdom Speaks with Spencer Klavan, we discuss how ancient wisdom is necessary to solve modern crises, why ordinary people are the essential component to the solution and whether we can/should save the West.
Spencer Klavan is a classicist with a Ph.D. from Oxford, and host of the Young Heretics podcast, as well as assistant editor of the Claremont Review of Books and The American Mind. He is also author of "Music in Ancient Greece: Melody, Rhythm", and Life as well as most recently "How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises".

Seriously? The West is the legal construct of Capitalism and the artificial world of distortions it has imposed on all humanity. Climate change is real and will end life as we know it. The horrors of the Abrahamic religions have not met in any way the moral challenges we face. To put the primitive gibberish of the only text to come out of ancient Jerusalem, the Torah, and the new testament which followed on the same level of the masterpieces of ancient Greek and Rome is comparing dross to gold. This discussion was a new low for this podcast.
