Andrew Zwerneman and Adrienne Freas discuss the results and the differences between fragmented histories, and one that keeps eyes on the whole of humanity.  With a vision for bringing an “abundance of the best and helping others to find their bearings,"  Andrew Zwerneman shares his expertise in teaching history. While acknowledging Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, and crediting Ancient Greece, Rome, and Latin Christianity, we too, can grasp the breadth of logic and precision.
