The
Philadelphia Society National Meeting
April 11-13, 2008
Sheraton National Hotel, Arlington, Virginia
Europe, the United States, and the Future of Western Civilization
Christopher Dawson in his book, appropriately titled, Understanding Europe, 1952, provides reflections on the common problems of Europe, America, and Western civilization. It would be worthwhile to read his reflections before coming to the meeting.
For reflections on the origins and early development of Western Civilization, tying together Alfred the Great, Gregory the Great, St. Benedict, and Charlemagne, click on Alfred the Great. There is also a link in this document to an important article by Walter McDougall relating Charlemagne to our present situation.
