Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
I took the course. Absolutely changing my life. Thank you to Hillsdale College!
What’s the course name?
If only “educators” took such classes and applied the knowledge freely given through this amazing institution ... HILLSDALE COLLEGE. Education the way it was intended. To enlighten not to indoctrinate.
Shocking, REAL education that is useful and applicable. Unheard of in these times.
Well said!
Finding people worth learning from has always been a struggle of mine. Hillsdale are good people!
@@user-gd2gffwea calm down smokey! I understand many think its no big deal any it may not be to many but that shouldn't be a basis to not believe they are worth your time to hear what they are trying to explain. So much more to life than pot. Give em a chance..
@@user-gd2gffwea 😆
I'll take this course. Have taken a few under my real name, not the pseudonym here. Sometimes go through the lectures twice, taking notes the second time if I couldn't the first, then take the quiz.
Have been listening to the Federalist Papers while working - falling deeper in love with our founders' work and genius, and our country and constitution. It is all truly good, very good.
Thanks for all the opportunity for genuine learning. At 71 next week, I feel like a college kid, though a bit less rambunctious.
Best to all at Hillsdale.
I am re-reading the Anti-federalist Papers now. Still as fresh and astute as when they were written. We were so blessed with such great minds and hearts.

LL, I'm a 71 yr old carpenter with high school ed.
I looked them up. Will look into it and try to give them a read. They had some valid concerns and will be interested to see how they were stated.
I understand looking at our Gov today, corrupt and bloated and inefficient, you could be very critical.
Still think the Constitution was the best answer, but I will read them. May take a bit, I'm under a heavy reading load and on a couple of projects.
Maybe by Christmas.
Appreciate the reply and challenge to thinking.
Touch base anytime
@@dongaetano3687 The Anti-federalists wrote the Constitution with the Federalists, but each had certain concerns.
The South was largely Anti because its economy was agricultural,, while the Federalists were Northern and industrial. I'm of the opinion that these fundamental differences in political outlook were very much at the core of the conflict between the states.

Thanks LL, that analysis is above my paygrade. Can't remember that part of the course, vecchiaia (Italian for old age).
Took a quick look but will have to wait, unless you can send me a link where I can read online or maybe a book title of the papers. There were 80 and yes, some well know names.
I finished the Gulag this year, reading simply done books on The Great War and Magna Carter, and A Sword Over the Nile by Adele Guindy, a long an thorugh history of the Copts.
Also one I'm breezing through is Rules for Radicals by Alinsky (with the motivation of "know your enemy"). As I'm in MA so no shortage of criticism of our country among a younger group of friends, 30's - 40's.
Got to run, have a good week.
This is the best format ever. Dr. Arn shows us how a good class should be taught.
This is what we need back in schools! Great job Hillsdale
I took this course and absolutely enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend. I am doing “children’s literature” right now and keep wanting more. Thank you!
Love this man’s work, really special , thanks, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing gift to my mind and soul.🙏🏻👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
this is what my parents taught around our table at home
NOw THIS IS A GOOD TEACHING, and the professor knows his stuff, as well as being able to relate the subject well
What a great teacher in our time
Professor Arne is quickly becoming one of my top favorite people.
What a class!!!!
God bless you and your family and friends forever in Jesus name
Jesus Christ is the Lord 🙏
Acts 2:38
This video is very informative. It is both delightful and evocative.
Thank you!
Love this
Some of my very favourite classes in college

and Philosophy… just not a lot of job opportunities

Who defines good is the real question.
Here is an interesting problem for the Hillsdale class -- How does one live Aristotle's virtue ethics fully if you are a CIA operations officer whose job involves intentional self-misrepresentation and frequent telling of lies or falsehoods not only to people you recruit as agents, but also to your own friends and family?
I think that is a personal problem and should only be considered from a perspective of whether you believe the country is founded upon sound principles. If you believe this to be true, you would be your own agent, not unlike James Bond. If you believe it is false, then you would have never asked the question.
Funny, the release of these highlights coincides with my own reading of Aristotle's Ethics.
Like my wise beyond his years son once said, “Dad, coincidences are happening all the time.”
Greek Satanism is so unChristian!!!!
@@1965radster Greek philosophy is before Christ
@@1965radster Um well actually, having read both this and the Bible, it's quite apparent to me that even in the absence of the knowledge of the one true God, humans can still achieve righteousness. In Addition, having read them both, I find very little that Aristotle says that contradicts the words or the Spirit of the Bible. That which does can be discarded without harming the truth of what he says, much of which is not harmful to life as a Christian, but beneficial. Why else do you think our founding fathers (the vast majority of whom were Christian) studied and encouraged the study of the classical thinkers as well as the Bible. As Christians we are called to proclaim truth and to charge into the darkness to reveal the world for what it is, ignoring the teachings of those whose analysis of the world supports and uplifts the Bible's is shortsighted and self destructive.
I always thought only Jesus was "good". I hope someone can clarify this point.
Jesus said people were good bro. Our job as Christians is to be like Jesus. Only God is good in the absolute overall sense.
It is a real question whether or not Jesus even existed. All people should strive to be good, in any case. Hillsdale grad here.
@@daheikkinen no it isn’t friend. I’m glad to hear you strive for goodness but without a transcendent standard there is no such thing.
@@jordandthornburg What is a transcendent standard?
@@daheikkinen one that is above humanity. It doesn’t come from ourselves
How and we’re Can i suscribe for this Curses ?
Go to Hillsdale college online
@Aristotle Against Plato here, read this 757 manual and fly yourself to the moon… LoL
King James V is the original truth!!!!
I like the KJV… because it’s what I was raised on and because it’s so regal. We have to be careful about our judgments though, especially if they are unnecessary.
Make only new mistakes.
Ethics or Sex? hard choice...
I Am … perplexed. Are you inferring ethical people don’t have sex? LoL
@@sixty7ford ha…since when do people have to choose between sex and ethics? cRaZy
maybe you should teach some ethics to cops.
Would make better sense to keep them totally oblivious & then try & to push the concept in ghettos
Police have continuing education in a broad range of subject matter, including ethics. If you are respectful and following the law, it’s likely they won’t need to remember their ethical instruction. If you choose a different path, be aware of the delimma.
@@ironicallyvague1265 LoL
@@sixty7ford LOL. let me guess the same "situational ethics" the if it feels good do it, just dont get caught" ethics they teach in public schools, and colleges.
@@sixty7ford and by the way tell that to the Tuttles.
