Description

A book for people who want to save the West but don’t know how. The fate of our civilization depends on whether ordinary people internalize the truth and beauty conveyed in the masterpieces of Western culture. Spencer Klavan, classicist and podcaster, defends that culture and explains why and how we must hand it on to the next generation.

It has been proclaimed many times, but perhaps never more convincingly than now, when every news cycle seems to deliver further confirmation of a world gone mad.

Is this the endgame? Have we come to closing time in the West?

Author Spencer Klavan is a classicist, with a Ph.D. from Oxford, and a deep understanding of the West. His analysis: The situation is dire. But every crisis we face today, we have faced before. And we can surmount each one. Today’s “five essential crises” are:

• The Crisis of Reality: Is there such a thing as objective truth—and even if there is, can “virtual reality” replace it?

• The Crisis of the Body: Not just the “transgender” insanity, but the push for a “transhumanist” future

• The Crisis of Meaning: Evolution—both biological and cultural—is a process of endless replication, of copying. But is there an original model that gives us an aspiration to aim for? Do our lives and actions have meaning?

• The Crisis of Religion: Science has not eliminated man's religious impulse, but rather misdirected it—and wrongly dismissed the profound philosophical plausibility of Judeo-Christian revelation.

• The Crisis of the Regime: Has America reached a point of inevitable collapse? Republican government was meant to end the destructive cycle of regimes rising and falling—but can it?

Klavan brings to the West’s defense the insights of Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, and the Founding Fathers to show that in the wisdom of the past lies hope for the future. That wisdom can improve our own lives and the lives of those around us—and ultimately save the West.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Strengthening Conviction in the reality of the Seen and Unseen

How to Save the West has incredible insight from ancient worlds to modern and post modern times have solid foundations in melding two realities. We find meaning for the touchable in the warmth and grandeur of the unseen realities.
Loved it from beginning to end.

Human nature is unsurprisingly consistent

I enjoyed the perspective given through each section of the book. It is clear thinkers and philosophers have contemplated the same weaknesses we struggle with today. Somehow, man thinks so much of himself and yet so fragile to return to old ways.

Klaven is insightful. His proposal to live our lives for our families and communities for meaning will sew the torn fabric of our culture and society. Focus on what we can affect.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the work. Sometimes the depth of the links to the past will require some pause or review but it is worth the time.

Spencer’s answer to save the west? Religion

The book is similar to David Brook’s ‘The Second Mountain’, but less convincing. It’s Megan Kelly, but smarter. Ben Shapiro, but nicer.
