Classical Wisdom
The Classics are a toolbox, a colossal resource that can provide a humbling perspective on our society and ourselves. It is priceless wisdom on how to be a better person, a family member, a citizen. It supplies us with infinite relevant historical examples that can shed essential light on current events and help us prepare for the future.
The tragedy is that few realise that this vast untapped wealth of knowledge is at our fingertips, just waiting to be read, discussed, appreciated... and applied.
This is our mission here at Classical Wisdom, to bring this ancient wisdom to modern minds.
And if you are one of those who still believe in the value of history, philosophy, mythology, literature and learning - then this is the newsletter for you... and I’m very glad you are here.
