Regarding some of the documents I mentioned in this podcast:
Here is Woodrow Wilson’s essay, “Leaders of Men,” in which Wilson describes human beings as “clay” to be molded, shaped, and used by political leaders.
Here is Samuel West’s 1776 sermon, “On the Right to Rebel Against Governors,” in which he defends the thesis “where licentiousness begins, liberty ends.”
This is the first speech ever presented by a United States President—George Washington’s First Inaugural Address—in which Washington perfectly summarized Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, explaining that there is by nature “an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness.”
Here is Glennon Doyle’s best-selling book, Untamed, a celebration of simplified postmodern moral relativism popularized for hoi polloi.
