The author acknowledges that in the 16th century, when humanists sought to break free from philosophical constraints, the Classics were the main source of philosophy, history, poetry, and oratory. Yet, due to the explosion of knowledge in modern times, classical studies now compete with equally valuable modern studies. That said, the author emphasizes that classical studies can't be judged solely by the knowledge they impart. Their true value lies in the mental training and development of faculties, as they improve logical thinking, judgment, and the ability to express oneself clearly and persuasively. By honing these cognitive skills, classical studies prepare students for any pursuit in life, making them valuable members of society and effective contributors to their respective fields.
