Excerpt from The Study of Greek
Now more than ever science, whether about things mental or material, needs the fineness of touch, which no other language has in the same degree, for her multifarious work of defining, sorting, analyzing. Now, more than even in the century of the Renaissance, the culture in which ancient Greece still stands unrivalled is almost deified. Now the specialty of our studies is to exhume the records of the past. Now the atten tion of religious people is turned, as in the days of Casaubon, to the investigation of old manu scripts. And yet now is the time chosen for a vehement assault on the study of the language, history, literature of the Hellenic race. It might be added, that the disparagement of Greek is all the more strange at a time when the athletics, in which Hellas has excelled all nations, are ex alted in England to the dignity of an art, a science, almost a religion.
Several causes concur. In the march onward of humanity there is a law at work, from which there is no escape, that the fashions of one period must be reversed by the period which comes next, and that the pendulum must swing so far in the new direction as it has swung in the old.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the study of the Greek language remains vital for the breadth and depth of education, and that the current proposal to abolish it in the undergraduate curriculum risks irreparably harming the overall intellectual landscape. Drawing on a profound understanding of history and the humanities, the author demonstrates that the Greek language has played an integral role in shaping Western civilization for centuries. Greek literature, philosophy, and science have laid the groundwork for much of our current knowledge and understanding and continue to offer invaluable insights into the human condition. The author asserts that eliminating Greek from the curriculum would not only diminish the quality of education but also weaken our connection to the cultural heritage that has shaped us. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the benefits of studying Greek in the context of contemporary society, this book makes a compelling case for preserving its place in education. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
