In this powerful and timely talk, Yaron Brook explores the true meaning and enduring value of Western civilization—tracing its roots from the Renaissance and Enlightenment to the principles that gave rise to science, individual liberty, and unprecedented human progress. Challenging the myths of multicultural relativism and confronting both external threats and internal self-doubt, the speech makes a passionate case for why Western civilization must be understood, celebrated, and defended. This is a compelling defense of the ideas that have shaped the modern world—and a call to stand up for the culture of reason, freedom, and human dignity.This talk was delivered on April 29, 2025 at Northwood University.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/@YaronBrook/joinLike what you hear?
