CCA III: Classical Greece and Rome | Hillsdale College | February 5-7, 2023 #Education #Hillsdale #HillsdaleCollege #LarryArnn #MaryPatriotNews [Video]
Since the founding of the first universities in the West in the eleventh century, the study of ancient Greece and Rome has been a central element of a liberal arts education. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, spurred largely by the influence of historicism, the serious study of the classics began to decline. Today it has all but disappeared from college and university curricula. This third CCA of the 2022-2023 academic year will explore the history, philosophy, and literature of classical Greece and Rome.ScheduleFebruary 54:00 p.m.“Pericles and Athenian Democracy”David WestAshland UniversityFebruary 58:00 p.m.“The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic”Barry Strauss Cornell UniversityFebruary 64:00 p.m.“Cicero and Stoicism”Walter NicgorskiUniversity of Notre DameFebruary 68:00 p.m.“Xenophon’s Socrates”Peter AhrensdorfDavidson CollegeFebruary 74:00 p.m.“The Importance of Virgil”Anthony EsolenMagdalen College of the Liberal ArtsFebruary 78:00 p.m.“The Importance of Homer”Joshua KatzProfessor of Classics
