About The Cause - Rob Pirie
“The Cause” is a movement to recover the wisdom, books, education, character, and culture we have inherited. Our mission is to help ordinary people rediscover our heritage and put its traditional wisdom back into practice. Please join me in embarking on the Harvard Classics Series by Dr. Charles Elliot. This series dates back to around 1910 and is a collection of literature that I believe needs to be revived and rediscovered. I look forward to reading and discussing all 50 volumes with you as we learn about the great ideas of those who came before us. In this series, we will dive into Greek and Roman history, the American Founders, works from Francis Bacon, John Milton, and many more. We will cover Shakespeare and Chaucer and also some fictional works like Don Quixote which are all included in the Harvard Classics. We will also review other books on this podcast that fit the classical education theme. This series is being created for those passionate about classical education and as a supplement to homeschool curriculums. I truly hope these classical works of literature bring you as much joy as they do me. Feel free to reach out with any questions as I would love to hear from you! Rob Pirie

Young Men Need Culture Again | The Recovery
Published 2 Nov 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] There are four foundations I want to quickly cover. The first foundation is education and wisdom. So education and wisdom. We need to start by asking what is forming our minds. This used to be our language, literature, and literary customs. Now it's kind of movies, social media, games, and entertainment. Our education has changed over time. Nowadays, our educational pursuits are often focused on making a living. In the past, education helped form the character, improve the soul and the mind. and instill morals and virtues. In ancient Greek, this was called the paideia. And this refers to the rearing and education of the ideal member of the ancient Greek state. […]
