Climbing Parnassus : A New Apologia for Greek and Latin EPUB
by Tracy Lee Simmons
EPUB
Description
In Climbing Parnassus, winner of the 2005 Paideia Prize, 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 Wests cultural order and Americas understanding of itself as a union of citizens. Simmonss 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.
