It has given to the world universally accepted understandings of human rights (rooted in Judeo-Christian principles), created standards for art, music, and literature that have never been equaled, and originated political and social systems that have spread all across the planet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Political correctness now obscures these and other truths about Western civilization. Leftists and Islamic jihadists find common cause in assailing Western \"colonialism,\" \"imperialism,\" and \"racism\" as its defining characteristics. Guilt-ridden Western leaders and public figures speak of their cultural patrimony in disparaging terms they would never dare to use about a non-Western culture. And in universities, \"multicultural\"-minded professors flatter students into believing they have nothing really to learn from Sophocles or Shakespeare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But now, \u003cb\u003eProfessor Anthony Esolen\u003c\/b\u003e--one of the team-teachers of Providence College's esteemed Development of Western Civilization Core Curriculum--has risen to the West's defense. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Politically Incorrect Guide(TM) to Western Civilization\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e takes on the prevailing liberal assumptions that make Western civilization the universal whipping boy for today's global problems - and introduces you to the significant events, individuals, nations, ideas, and artistic achievements that make Western civilization the greatest the world has ever known. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Today, defending the West has become an urgent imperative: if we don't value what we have and what we have inherited, we will surely lose it.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Western Civilization\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is an essential sourcebook for that defense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3063042\"\u003eAnthony Esolen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Regnery Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 7.25w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596980594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596980591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS037000\"\u003eWorld | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS039000\"\u003eCivilization\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eANTHONY ESOLEN is a contributing editor at Crisis Magazine and a professor and writer-in-residence at Magdalen College of Liberal Arts.
