New Book (Regnery, 2023)
"Anthony Esolen is in a category of one: a prolific author whose every single word is worth reading. Why? His prose surrounds the reader from the first with his manifest love of the West and of Jesus Christ and his Church by engaging the reader’s mind and heart. Only a scholar who is also a poet can write with so much insight and so much music."
Chris Check, President, Catholic Answers

Had to post again...As I read further into this book, I find myself experiencing the same kind of heady excitement I felt when, going back to school in 2002, I finished the first class of a required philosophy course, Ethics, taught by Dr. David Black.
This particular class was an "accident"...I was not originally signed up for this specific class, but one taught by a different professor. But going to the bookstore, and finding that my original class (remember, 'Ethics') had as the major text, a collection of writing from the UN (I know, I was stunned as well). I immediately decided to cancel this class, and selected another (after looking at the book requirements)--this one fit my schedule, and would be using Plato, Aristotle and St. Augustine.
The class was magnificent--I had never encountered such a genuine TEACHER before. Every M, W, F of that semester, I was excited, because I had his class (to be fair, it didn't hurt that this class was preceded by another required course, Sociology...the tedium of which I have not the words to express.)
This wonderful book has given me that same excitement and joy of learning as I had in Dr. Black's class.
