Anthony M. Esolen - The Politically Incorrect Guide to Western Civilization (2008)
Narrated by Malcolm Hillgartner Length: 11 hrs and 07 mins
Everything you should know—but PC professors won't teach—about our Western heritage.
Western civilization is the envy of the globe. It has given to the world universally accepted understandings of human rights (rooted in Judeo-Christian principles), created standards for art, music, and literature that have never been equaled, and originated political and social systems that have spread all across the planet.
Unfortunately, the fog of political correctness now obscures these and other truths about Western civilization. Leftists and Islamic jihadists find common cause in assailing Western "colonialism," "imperialism," and "racism" as its defining characteristics.
Guilt-ridden Western leaders and public figures speak of their cultural patrimony in disparaging terms they would never dare to use about a non-Western culture.
And in the academy, "multicultural"-minded professors flatter students into believing they have nothing really to learn from Sophocles or Shakespeare.
But now, Professor Anthony Esolen—one of the team-teachers of Providence College's esteemed Development of Western Civilization Core Curriculum—has risen to the West's defense.
The Politically Incorrect Guide(TM) to Western Civilization takes on the prevailing liberal assumptions that make Western civilization the universal whipping boy for today's global problems, and introduces you to the significant events, individuals, nations, ideas, and artistic achievements that make Western civilization the greatest the world has ever known.
Today—with the West imperiled as never before by the global jihad and threats from China and elsewhere—defending the West has become an urgent imperative: if we don't value what we have and what we have inherited, we will surely lose it.
The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Western Civilization is an essential sourcebook for that defense.
