What the Ancients Taught the Founders | Victor Davis Hanson (Part One)

"How did the ideas of the ancient world shape the birth of the American republic? In this exclusive three-part lecture series, the Pepperdine School of Public Policy welcomes back Victor Davis Hanson, renowned historian and the Pepperdine Inaugural Terry Giles and Kalli O’Malley Distinguished Senior Fellow.

This series explores the ancient philosophical roots of the American Founding—how the wisdom of classical thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero informed the Founders’ understanding of freedom, citizenship, and good governance. From Athens to Rome, these enduring ideas helped frame the structure of our divided government, the meaning of civic virtue, and the responsibilities of citizenship in a free society.

What the 'Ancients Taught the Founders' readings:

The American Founders and Classical Political Thought, John Zvesper

The Young American Nation and the Classical World, Edwin A. Miles

The Classical Ancestry of the United States Constitution, Richard M. Gummere
