Publisher's Synopsis
""A Defense of Classical Education"" is a book written by Richard Winn Livingstone and originally published in 1916. The book is a passionate defense of the importance and relevance of classical education in modern times. Livingstone argues that the study of Latin and Greek, as well as the works of ancient philosophers and writers, is essential for developing critical thinking skills, cultivating a sense of cultural heritage, and fostering a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of language. Throughout the book, Livingstone provides examples from history and literature to illustrate the value of classical education. He also addresses common criticisms of the subject, such as the argument that it is outdated or irrelevant in the modern world. Livingstone counters these arguments by pointing out the ways in which classical education can be adapted to meet the needs of contemporary students and society.Overall, ""A Defense of Classical Education"" is a thought-provoking and eloquent defense of a subject that has been the subject of debate and controversy for centuries. It is a must-read for anyone interested in education, language, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
