Climbing Parnassus : A New Apologia for Greek and Latin Paperback / softback
by Tracy Lee Simmons
Paperback / softback
Description
In Climbing Parnassus, Tracy Lee Simmons presents a defense and vindication of the formative power of Greek and Latin.
He also shows how these languages have played a crucial role in the development of authentic Humanism, the foundation of the West’s cultural order and America’s understanding of itself as a union of citizens.
Simmons’s persuasive witness to the unique, now all-but-forgotten advantages of study in and of the classical languages constitutes a bracing reminder of the genuine aims of a truly liberal education.
