Our hybrid civilization
The modern West is hybrid civilization, drawing upon competing ethical traditions from Greco-Roman culture and Judeo-Christian religion. Professor Hicks illustrates the contrast by means of a thought-experiment survey about the Declaration of Independence and Priests’ Vows. This is from Part 5 of his Philosophy of Education course.
