Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Defence of Classical Education This book owes much to the constant help of my wife; and I should also like to express my gratitude for suggestions and criticism to Dr. F. C. S. Schiller and Mr. A. E. Zimmern, who have read most of it in manuscript. Except for some corrections on points of detail, for which I am indebted to correspondents and reviewers, no changes have been made in this edition. I should like to take this opportunity of quoting a passage from Mr. W. B. Yeats' "Reveries" to which Mr. F. W. Hall of St. John's College, Oxford, has called my attention. It is not only a notable tribute to the Classics, but also a just comment on the view that translations of Latin and Greek authors arc adequate substitutes for the originals.

Download or read book The Classical Commentary written by Gibson and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores the issues raised by the writing and reading of commentaries on classical Greek and Latin texts. Written primarily by practising commentators, the papers examine philosophical, narratological, and historiographical commentaries; ancient, Byzantine, and Renaissance commentary practice and theory, with special emphasis on Galen, Tzetzes, and La Cerda; the relationship between the author of the primary text, the commentary writer, and the reader; special problems posed by fragmentary and spurious texts; the role and scope of citation, selectivity, lemmatization, and revision; the practical future of commentary-writing and publication; and the way computers are changing the shape of the classical commentary. With a genesis in discussion panels mounted in the UK in 1996 and the US in 1997, the volume continues recent international dialogue on the genre and future of commentaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classical Scholarship and Classical Learning: Considered With Especial Reference to Competitive Tests and University Teaching; A Practical Essay on Liberal Education Very few words will suffice by way of Preface to the following pages. Although this Essay is inconsiderable in extent, and intentionally written in a familiar and informal style, it contains the results of no slight experience and reflexion on the subjects of which it treats. Indeed, I have had many opportunities of discussing these matters before now, and I have often had to repeat in the present Treatise the thoughts, sometimes the very words, which I have used in fugitive publications or in public speeches and lectures. But the confidence, with which I bring forward this advocacy of the old basis of liberal education, does not spring merely from the maturity of my own convictions. I know also that most of those, who have paid adequate attention to the questions mooted by me, take the same view, either wholly or in part, and I have often, for obvious reasons, quoted passages from the writings of others, instead of endeavouring to enforce the same opinions by words of my own. One of my chief objects has been to correct prevalent, especially recent, exaggerations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Claims of Classical Learning Examined and Refuted by Argument, and by the Confessions of Scholars In the all important concerns of education, the prevailing scheme of study, both here and in Europe, appears to involve a species and a degree of inconsistency wholly unaccountable. During the 16th and 17th centuries, while Grecian philosophy was in vogue, the reign of error was indeed, beyond measure, more extensive; but it was more consistent - Principle and practice went together - The dogmas of Aristotle passing then for the first principles of science, the empire of authority was universal; and mental subjugation, as it was unfelt, was unsuspected. The attention then paid to ancient language, as the natural avenue to ancient wisdom, was but a part of the general delusion and harmonized with it. In the system as a whole, however erroneous, there was a congruity and a fitness well calculated both to dazzle and deceive; and it did deceive for many a generation. But what is the state of things in our day? - Ancient philosophy is altogether exploded. In no one department of science, physical or metaphysical, political or moral, are the ancients looked up to as suitable guides. Their principles, it is true, were not invariable wrong, and their doctrines often were accidentally right; but their general theories, on all subjects, have long been renounced by common consent, as being either visionary, or inadequate, or ill adapted to the state of the world as we now find it. Nor is this any disparagement to those who were called to think and act at earlier periods. When the progress of knowledge is recorded, though but imperfectly, each generation begins its career with better helps - it takes its departure from a more advanced point - and as this process has been going on ever since the art of writing was first invented, more especially since the art of printing, the present race of men must possess by many degrees a larger fund of intelligence than their remote ancestors, though nowise superior perhaps by nature. To travel over the ground of ancient learning does really seem then like going over our alphabet at the age of manhood.

Download or read book Lectures on Classical Subjects Classic Reprint written by W. R. Hardie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Classical Subjects I Have called this book 'Lectures, ' partly because a simple title of this kind would have been natural to the Greeks and Romans, partly because I could not devise one which would describe it more exactly. An old Oxford rhyme has been in my mind: 'Do not to many lectures go, For whether you do so or no, You'll find the substance of his notes Much better in the books he quotes' - 'much better, ' no doubt, intrinsically, but often scattered, and not very accessible, and sometimes too controversial and complicated to be of use to the student. The Professional Scholar will not find much, if anything, that is new to him in this volume. It is not to him that it is addressed: 'Persium non curo legere, Laelium Decumum volo.' This D. Laelius, Cicero says, was 'vir bonus et non inlitteratus, sed nihil ad Persium.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Live Issues in Classical Study Classic Reprint written by Karl Pomeroy Harrington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Live Issues in Classical Study In an age of educational unrest the present moment is vitally concerned with the present and future status of the classics. Classical Associations are springing up every where. Curricula are being made and unmade. German and English scholars are urging the broadening of the scope of Greek and Latin reading. Great metropolitan journals are protesting against discrimination by American colleges in the matter of material equipment to the dis advantage of the classics. Educational meetings are seri ously discussing defects in classical teaching. If the essays in this little volume should contribute at all to the ultimate solution of some of these great problems, the author's modest hope would be fully realized. Of the four essays here published, the second and third, previously printed respectively in the Southern Methodist Review and the Classical Weekly, have been revised and are here reproduced in the hope that thus they may reach a somewhat larger public.

Download or read book Statecraft and Classical Learning written by Benjamin Elman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-10-12 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statecraft and Classical Learning is devoted to the Rituals of Zhou, one of the ancient Chinese Classics. In addition to its canonical stature in classical learning, the massive text was of unique significance to the pre-modern statecraft of China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam where it served as the classical paradigm for government structure and was often invoked in movements of political reform. The present volume, with contributions from twelve leading North American, European, and East Asian scholars, is the first in any language to illuminate the Rituals in both dimensions. It presents a multi-faceted and fascinating picture of the life of the text from its inception some two millennia ago to its modern political and scholarly discourse.

There exists, as you are aware, in the minds of some persons a degree of prejudice against these pursuits, arising from the belief that they are of little or no utility. You have now made sufficient progress in them to be able to appreciate the arguments by which they are recommended; and I em persuaded that an examination of their merits will prove equally interesting and useful, and will Ope rate as an incentive to future exertion.
