Description

In this course of 12 lectures you explore the continuing influence of the classical Greek achievement on contemporary life. The point of the lectures is not the often tedious claim that there is nothing new under the sun. Rather, it is to underscore the remarkable continuity of the Greek perspective and ethos preserved over several millennia.

The continuing influence of Greek achievement is examined in:

  • literature, art, and architecture
  • learning, science, and medicine
  • the State
  • the self

The asset and hazard of the Greek ideal of perfection is also explored.
