Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lecture on the Classical Learning, Delivered Before the Convention of Teachers, and Other Friends of Education, Assembled to Form the American Institute of Instruction, August, 20, 1830 IN discussing the claims of classical learning, it is not my intention to revive the half-forgotten disputes in which the scholars of old arrayed themselves in contending parties, uh der the 'banners of ancient and of modern genius. The spirit which animated those violent times, is foreign from an occa sion like the present. The fanaticism which taught men to abuse and scorn each other for differences in literary opinion, and woman, in the person of a fair votary of the Muses, the ou ly one of her sex whom the French Academy has ever deign ed to eulogiz'e, 'to fix upon her opponent, Lamothe, because he ridiculed Homer's mythology, the gentle epithets 'cold, fiat, ridiculous, impertinent, grossly ignorant, prodd and senseless, ' and to remind him that Alcibiades boxed the ears of a rhetori' cian, because he had not Homer's works; this absurd fanati cism, it is far from my purpose to evoke. Yet it might well be matter of surprise, that the great masters of antiquity, whose works have stood the test of two thousand years, should, at this late day, be summoned before the tribunal of public opin ion, their merits closely scrutinized, questioned, doubted, and.

Download or read book The Battle of the Classics written by Eric Adler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are troubling days for the humanities. In response, a recent proliferation of works defending the humanities has emerged. But, taken together, what are these works really saying, and how persuasive do they prove? The Battle of the Classics demonstrates the crucial downsides of contemporary apologetics for the humanities and presents in its place a historically informed case for a different approach to rescuing the humanistic disciplines in higher education. It reopens the passionate debates about the classics that took place in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America as a springboard for crafting a novel foundation for the humanistic tradition. Eric Adler demonstrates that current defenses of the humanities rely on the humanistic disciplines as inculcators of certain poorly defined skills such as "critical thinking." It criticizes this conventional approach, contending that humanists cannot hope to save their disciplines without arguing in favor of particular humanities content. As the uninspired defenses of the classical humanities in the late nineteenth century prove, instrumental apologetics are bound to fail. All the same, the book shows that proponents of the Great Books favor a curriculum that is too intellectually narrow for the twenty-first century. The Battle of the Classics thus lays out a substance-based approach to undergraduate education that will revive the humanities, even as it steers clear of overreliance on the Western canon. The book envisions a global humanities based on the examination of masterworks from manifold cultures as the heart of an intellectually and morally sound education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Progress of Classical Learning During the Present Century: A Lecture Delivered as an Installation-Address in the Convocation Hall of Queen's University, Kingston, on Oct, 16, 1867, Being University Day Having been elected to the chair of Classical Literature in this Institution, I desire to acknowledge my sense of the honour thus conferred upon me - an honour, heightened by the circumstance that this University, to whose Professorial staff I have been appointed, is my Alma Mater. This circumstance, while it yields honour, entails responsibility. May it be my suc cessful attainment, as it shall ever be my strenuous endeavour, to advance the useful ness and increase the fame of this seat of learning, to which I owe so much - to fill with lustre to the College and profit to her Students the Department entrusted to me, which has been so ably presided over since the foundation of the College! Custom requires that I should deliver an Inaugural Address. The subject which I liave'chosen, as appropriate to the occasion, is the Pro gress of Classical Learning during the pre sent Century. This progress has been varied, widely extended, steadily maintained. There un fortunately prevails an opinion which claims numerous adherents, that Classical learning is a stereotyped study. Such per sons imagine that, because Greek and Latin are dead languages, our fathers knew about taem as much as we can possibly know - that no additional light can be thrown upon their origin, structure, his tory, and connections - that 'their deepest mysteries have already been explored and their darkest recesses have been fully dis closed - that the subjects which engaged the attention of a class in this Department at the close of last centuryremain still the same, without addition 'to their number.
