HELLENISM

This interview with Professor Bruce S. Thornton of California State University, Fresno, was originally published in Greek in Davlos Magazine (No. 238, October 2001, pp. 15255–15264). Conducted shortly after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, it reflects a pivotal moment in global discourse about the values and legacy of Western civilization. Thornton, a classicist and outspoken critic of academic trends, addresses the rise of postmodernism and multiculturalism, the enduring relevance of Hellenic ideals, and the challenges of globalization. His responses capture the early 21st-century “culture wars,” when debates over Western identity, education, and cultural heritage intensified in the wake of 9/11, as scholars and intellectuals grappled with defending liberal democratic principles against both internal critiques and external threats.
