Thomas G. West, professor of politics at Hillsdale College, is one of the great scholars and teachers of the American Founding.
That’s why we’re so excited to offer a course that explains his core teachings about the American Founding, which is now available on DVD.
In this course, Dr. West sits down with David Azerrad, his former student and current professor at Hillsdale’s Graduate School of Government, to reveal the truth about the American Founding.
What students are saying“I appreciate the brevity of explanation and new information in a way I hadn’t known or realized myself. The quizzes are helpful. Having two teachers converse brings an interesting perspective.”– Darlena“It helps put into context the thinking of our founders at that time. That’s very important and misunderstood by so many people today!”– Robert
As Dr. West explains, the Founders’ political theory is so foreign to Americans today—even to scholars and teachers of American history and politics—that the task of uncovering the truth about the Founding is like unearthing something from a “deep and long-forgotten pit.”
This course goes about this task by examining the actual words and actions of the Founders, and it brings their theory to life by comparing it to the dominant views of contemporary America.
The result is an exciting and often surprising account of how the Founders established a free government in America and what they thought was necessary to sustain it.
As you know, our online courses are free. That’s why we depend on the generosity of people like you to help us share the course with as many people as possible.
