This is one of the most interesting discussions I have ever been witness to. Thank You to all involved.

Eugen Weber was a historian of Modern Europe but he was also a brilliant student of the Greek and Latin Classics. He belonged to a generation that learned to read before taking a Ph.D. Absolutely wonderful—thank you for posting.

Being a Assistant Professor of Political Science this 24 min Video is like precious treasure.

..wisdom could be taught even to the poorest or the humblest..
If there's anything I've learnt is that the humblest are humble for a reason.. wisdom

2:09 "Many sophists were considered too clever by half, and critical, and subversive because they were willing to follow an argument wherever it might lead them. When you go all out after truth you cannot tell in advance whether the truth will be something that society would like it to be."—Eugene Weber

Dude that was amazing!!! I wish we had another 3hours of this, my gosh this just explained so much!

[barkmatter]

Greek language due to its etymological base, it promotes the analytical thinking, it has no accent and almost all words actually mean something that can be etymologically proved.Philosophy and Medical Science are applications of that function.
I recommend to anyone who seeks answers, learn Greek and study the words

[dagneytaggart]

I have ALWAYS loved this guys lectures.

[jotorres]

Excellent lecture! You enlightened my mind in so many things about ancient Greek history and philosophy. Thanks

[Staygoldfarms]

Thank you for sharing. One cannot get enough philosophy from our ancestors. Sadly most modern leaders apply poor applications that aren’t sustainable.

[DaveTheTurd]

I'm kind of stunned by how many of Plato's ideas have made it whole cloth into modern Christian teaching.... Thank you for posting this. Going to flag it for rewatch.

[MrXMOMO]

Thank you. Loved it beyond measure. So wonderful.

I wish this wasn't broken apart. I love this video.

Love Eugen Weber!!
Been watching this guy for 50 years, and I remember the first time I walked into the den where my father, if not reading, had PBS on and was watching one of Weber's shows, and my first thought was, "Why is dad watching Harvey Korman do one of his German accent comedy I realized this was a REAL professor.
