Plato vs. Aristotle? with Dr. Arthur Herman

Join us for Objectively Speaking with Arthur Herman on Wednesday, December 17 @ 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. How have the competing visions of Plato and Aristotle shaped the very way we think about politics, art, science, and the modern world? That’s what historian Arthur Herman answers in The Cave and the Light: Plato Versus Aristotle, and the Struggle for the Soul of Western Civilization, which explores how the two greatest thinkers of the ancient world, Plato and Aristotle, laid the foundations of Western culture—and how their rivalry shaped the essential features of our culture down to the present day. A senior research fellow at the Civitas Institute, Herman is a Pulitzer Prize Finalist historian and biographer, authoring nine books, including the New York Times Best Seller How the Scots Invented the Modern World, Freedom’s Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II, and 1917: Lenin, Wilson, and the Birth of the New World Disorder.
