Why We Think What We Think: Why is the Modern World Such a Mess?

Have you ever wished someone could explain in simple terms what is wrong with the modern world? Why do we seem so hopelessly divided. Author, journalist and teacher Dan LeRoy joins Brian McCall to discuss the history of Western thought. How did the great thinkers of the Western world lay the foundation for the great intellectual achievements of the High Middle Ages? How did we fall from such heights? LeRoy tells an engaging and accessible story of this rise and fall.
