This book starts with the question, "What is Western Civilization, and where did it start?" The Greeks and Romans formed our Western values. The author shows how those values were used to create and dictate laws, our sense of morals, and our sense of individualism. The author shows how the Greek philosophers led the way and how different cultures have added other layers of depth to our understanding of who we are.
The author shows his readers a new way to relate to the information of "Western civilization." It is a thought-provoking analysis. Listening to this book is slightly less valuable than reading it. The concepts call for some thought, and the reader continues, leaving me without time to process some ideas.
