The Living Languages: A Defence of the Compulsory Study, of Greek at Cambridge (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Greek is more than language study; it’s a tool for mental training.
This book presents a reasoned case for keeping Greek as a required subject in public schools and at Cambridge. It argues that Greek can strengthen thinking, support a broad education, and still leave room for other subjects. The discussion focuses on how compulsory Greek affects students, schools, and the university system, with attention to fairness, examination culture, and the role of an educated elite.
- Why compulsory Greek can coexist with a broad curriculum
- How Greek serves mental training and intellectual development
- Implications for examinations, pedagogy, and school choice
- Arguments about access, merit, and the role of education in society
