I was listening to a podcast awhile ago and the host mentioned he was reading Weaver’s Ideas Have Consequences, and how much he (the host) was benefiting from studying it.

A few days ago I ordered it, and am halfway through it now, and could not agree more with Jon Harris’ appreciation of the book.

Weaver was an English professor (as will be evident to all who read the book), so I’m quite at home with his allusions to the Classics, but his thesis is as germane and vital today as it was when he penned the book–which, of course, was his entire point: When we abandon the universal truths and wisdom, we disintegrate spiritually, intellectually, and morally.
