Of course the 'debate' about the origins and future course of Western civilisation has been going on for a while, as detailed in the works of A.C. Grayling (a contributor to the In Our Time programme) and Jennifer Michael Hecht. The tone of the debate in recent times has been shrill, but I think it can and will change. As explored in a delightful article on The Rebirth of Religion and Enchanting Materialism, Europe can lead the debate in a better direction, if only because we started it.
And for those of you who like your philosophy without the ancient Greek, try out Philosophy Bites, a delightful series bringing the best of modern thinking and thinkers to an iPod or MP3 near you.
