Many of us land on a hyphenated term that finds itself under attack in the world today: our foundations are Judeo-Christian. But then, we also must admit the relevance of the seismic shifts in thought and political organization of the various movements we retroactively recognize as \"the\" Enlightenment (really: the various Enlightenments). That much is undeniable. The correct expression of these currents, which incorporated into a Christian ethic a great deal of \"Enlightenment\" thinking and also a revitalization of much Judaic thinking, arose on the American continent more or less uniquely. Thus, \"the West\" and the \"Western Civilization\" that we defend today is not just Judeo-Christian or \"Enlightenment\" but specifically Judeo-Christian-American. Join host James Lindsay for this deep episode of New Discourses Bullets in which he explores this important innovation and idea.
