'Best of the West' Weekly Book Club Starting NEXT TUESDAY (along with Will Knowland of 'Knowland Knows')
Dear Readers,
I’m happy to announce that starting NEXT TUESDAY, SEP 6th, 3pm EST/8pm BST, Will Knowland (of Knowland Knows) and I will be starting up the ‘Best of the West’ Book Club. Here is the promo video for more details below.
Basically, we will spend one hour, each week, going over some contemporary and classic works of Western Civilization. We will be starting off next week (and for the whole month of September) working through Vaclav Havel’s “The Power of the Powerless.” We then have the following works lined up:
OCT: The Last Superstition, Ed Feser .Understand the philosophical mistakes underlying the chaos of modern culture.
NOV: Plato's Republic, Book VIII and first part of Book IX. Understand the decline of the polis from the ideal state through four stages of degeneration.
DEC: The Case for Patriarchy, Timothy J. Gordon. Understand why no Christian feminism is possible.
JAN: Aristotle and Aquinas on envy. Understand woke totalitarian psychology.
FEB: Revolution and Counter-Revolution, Pinio Correa de Oliveira. Understand how cultural revolutions work and what works to fight back.
MAR: Nietzsche on 'ressentiment'. Understand how envious revolutionaries invert values - weakness is better than strength - and how this differs from Christian hierarchy.
APR: The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis. Understand how generations of children were hollowed out in the education system.
Join us on Will’s channel starting next week to join in.
Hope to see you there!
