About this episode
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".
