Climbing Parnassus takes a fresh look at the Classics Crisis
In his new ISI Books' title, Climbing Parnassus, Tracy Lee Simmons defends the importance of learning the classical languages themselves and how this study is one of the genuine aims of a truly liberal education. In this concise and elegantly wrought brief, Simmons argues that an education in the classical languages is of inestimable personal and cultural value. He demonstrates this by relating the intellectually liberating qualities that the study of the Greek and Latin authors in their own languages has historically provided, and how the classical languages have played a crucial role in the development of authentic Humanism, the foundation of the West's cultural order, and America's understanding of itself as a union of citizens.
