Western Tradition and The American Founding (5007)

The government of the United States traces its roots back to ancient Greece, Rome and historic philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. Considering their extraordinary influence on modern political systems and especially democracy, it couldn’t be timelier to reconnect and reconsider the early origins of our government. This is especially relevant now as increasingly we are seeing evidence of countries slipping towards authoritarianism, a risk that some fear for the United States.

Joining Host Jim Falk are:

Joseph Loconte, Ph.D., a best-selling author, educator, and presidential scholar at the New College of Florida. He is the director of The Rivendell Center in New York City, and his YouTube history channel, “History and the Human Story,” explores the cultural and political achievements of Western civilization and the American republic.

And John Meko, President of Founding Forward, a “champion of civics and American history.” Based in Valley Forge and Philadelphia, PA, Founding Forward informs and engages citizens through transformational educational experiences grounded in American history.

Join us for a timely and relevant discussion, and a great history lesson.
