Which Way Western Man Audiobook: Introduction

To my reader…

You may find in this book ideas or ideals that at first hearing strike you as abhorrent. They may clash with what you have long believed to represent the highest in human experience, or cherish as too holy to be questioned. Or you may find yourself chilled by conclusions that I reach or remedies that I press that you think too drastic. But I would remind you that the disintegration of our whole society is far advanced, that the time allowed us for action is short, and that the peril hanging over us is—fearsome. Extreme emergencies may require extreme measures. Our need is for men of the courage and independence of mind to set aside all taboos, men who will search and reassess the entire experience of our people with discernment and with insight, and will then have the resolution and the dedication to apply to the solution of our problems all the light and the fullest wisdom to which their search has led them—even though it cost them their lives.

-William Gayley Simpson

I am starting a new project of recording chapters (with some commentary) of Simpson’s book Which Way Western Man. The book is expensive and over 1000 pages in length–which makes it unreachable for many people. I want to change that.

I am starting on the third chapter “Jesus: Tribute and Reappraisal”. You can find part one, here.
