Excerpt from Classical Study: Its Value; Illustrated by Extracts From the Writings of Eminent Scholars

Forty years later, a series of spirited papers, bearing the signature Rumford, appeared in the Boston Centinel, which were collected and published in 1824, making a pamphlet of one hundred and forty pages; The author of these Essays maintains that the dead languages are no guide to the signification of English words' no guide to English grammar no benefit to style that classical literature is of little value as a source of knowledge that classical studies are not the best means of strengthening the understanding'; and of not much value as a facility to foreign living languages.'

�valuation du vendeur 4 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the debate over the value of classical studies. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330769362_0
