But not anymore. Plato's teachings? Irrelevant. Roman culture? Chauvinistic. If there's one thing liberal professors and pundits can't standit's Western civilization. Coming to its rescue is The Politically Incorrect Guide to Western Civilizationthe essential sourcebook for defending everything from Christianity and the Classics to Sophocles and the Founding Fathers. And who better to defend our heritage than one of America's foremost Western civilization scholarsProfessor Anthony Esolen. Esolen takes on the "PC police," revealing what they don't want you to know, including: * How the "Dark" Ages were full of learning, invention, and artand the Renaissance was rather backward * How the Enlightenment yielded tyranny and violence, and encouraged the devaluation of the individual * How the "progressive ideas" of the nineteenth century led to the fascism, communism, and two world wars of the twentieth century Esolen's The Politically Incorrect Guide to Western Civilization brings the battle for truth, tradition, and morality to the doorsteps of leftists who dismiss our heritage and disown our country's foundation. With the West threatened by global jihad, China, and more, defending Western civilization has never been so important.
