Episode 2: Classical Warfare And the Birth of Western Military Dynamism

How was the West able to conquer the world, and how does it manage to maintain its military edge even today?

Episode 1: Why Read Classical Literature

Why bother to read things written 2,500 years ago? Because human nature has not changed, and so the classical authors still have much to teach us. In fact, thinkers like Homer and Socrates often have better answers to our problems than those provided by modern pundits. The classical authors were not distracted by Twitter and Facebook or hobbled by political correctness; they give it to us straight.

Episode 8: A Century of the Modern and Postmodern West

Ever since the days of classical Greece, Western civilization rested upon a bedrock of idealism and civic virtue. Then, amid the confusion and disconnection created by the Industrial Revolution, the West began to turn away from its traditional emphasis on religion, patriotism and family values. Nowadays we all wallow the nihilistic chaos of the postmodern world, where irony and cynicism are the dominant modes. But we long for a rebirth of the values and traditions that sustained Western civilization for 2,500 years – and one day may do so again. 8/8

Episode 7: From British to American Centuries

Modern, multicultural America traces its uniqueness among nations to one culture in particular: that of Britain, from whence we originally came. Britain’s geographical isolation as an island nation nurtured the development of a tolerant, resilient political system that favors peaceful solutions negotiated among peers to violent solutions imposed from above. Inheriting this British system, America tweaked it to place even less emphasis on hierarchy, and more on individual freedom. 7/8
