The Pilgrimage of Western Man

The Pilgrimage of Western Man

Stringfellow Barr
Role: Author
Written by a founder of the Great Books Program in Annapolis.

“This is a thoughtful, careful and intelligent tracing of the pilgrimage of western man in search for unity, freedom and justice under law.” (Kirkus Review). Barr examines the past in search of solutions for a future that includes a unity of purpose and outlook among men. He traces European history from the Thirteenth century to WWII, concluding “that man is still searching for a city, a common government, whether as a Hitler or a Stalin would have it, or by common action as it should and must be.”
