Book Synopsis The Art of Humane Education by : Donald Phillip Verene
Download or read book The Art of Humane Education written by Donald Phillip Verene and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Art of Humane Education, Donald Phillip Verene presents a new statement of the classical and humanist ideals that he believes should guide education in the liberal arts and sciences. These ideals are lost, he contends, in the corporate atmosphere of the contemporary university, with its emphasis on administration, faculty careerism, and student performance. Verene addresses questions of how and what to teach and offers practical suggestions for the conduct of class sessions, the relationship between teacher and student, the interpretation of texts, and the meaning and use of a canon of great books.In sharp contrast to the current tendency toward specialization, Verene considers the aim of college education to be self-knowledge pursued through study of all fields of thought. Education, in his view, must be based on acquisition of the arts of reading, writing, and thinking. He regards the class lecture as a form of oratory that should be presented in accordance with the well-known principles of rhetoric. The Art of Humane Education, styled as a series of letters, makes the author's original and practical ideas very clear. In this elegant book, Verene explores the full range of issues surrounding humane education.On the humanities: "Despite Descartes, the study of humane letters has remained, but it is always in danger of passing out of the curriculum. It remains a beggar who will not quite leave the premises."On teaching: "Like oratory, teaching requires a natural gift, but it is also an art which, like all the other humane arts, can be learned only mimetically.... As some are born tone-deaf and cannot be musical, there are those who can never teach. But most if they wish have some aptitude for it, and this aptitude can be developed into an art."On teachers: "Teachers motivated by eloquence attempt to speak wholly on a subject, since the whole is where its life is. Teachers not motivated by eloquence tend to be either dull or comedic. The dull teacher may have knowledge but have no true language for it.... The comedic teacher is shallow and a menace to the subject matter."On administrators: "Administration is never content simply to concern itself with the pure business of the university, paying its bills, maintaining its buildings. It sees itself as necessary in order for the process between teacher and student to go on. But it is a process that it constantly interrupts.... Administrators, however, should not be taken too seriously."Although sharply critical of many aspects of the modern university and of many currents within the humanities, The Art of Humane Education remains at heart a ringing endorsement of the high humanist tradition and its continuing relevance to the institutions of teaching and learning.

Book Synopsis The Conspiracy of the Prince of Macchia & G. B. Vico by : Giorgio A. Pinton
Download or read book The Conspiracy of the Prince of Macchia & G. B. Vico written by Giorgio A. Pinton and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September of 1701, events transpired in Naples that, through frequent retellings, became popularly known as “the conspiracy of the Prince of Macchia.” Rapidly gaining fame, this apparently anonymous narrative was soon incorporated by different historians in their history of the transition years between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. But who was the initial bard or narrator, the town clerk or citizen who first gave testimony of this event by creating a Latin text of the story of the Prince of Macchia? Giambattista Vico was not among the claimants to the authorship of the fabulous story that changed the future of the Kingdom of Naples. Nevertheless, four scholars across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were themselves convinced, and managed to convince the intellectual world as well, that Vico, then a young teacher of rhetoric at the University of Naples, was indeed the source of this original Latin narration of this oft retold Neapolitan history. This book provides the original Latin text with a parallel translation, as well as historical context and analysis of both the text’s authorship history and the account itself.
Book Synopsis The New Art of Autobiography by : Donald Phillip Verene
Download or read book The New Art of Autobiography written by Donald Phillip Verene and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the first full-length study of Vico's highly original autobiography, Verene discusses its place in the history of autobiography generally, and shows it to be the first work of modern intellectual autobiography which uses a genetic method. The author views the autobiography as a work in which Vico applies the principles of human history discussed in New Science, making the telling of his own life an application and verification of his own philosophy. He places Vico's autobiography within the general development of the genre, considering it in relation to Augustine's Confessions, Descartes's Discourse, and Rousseau's Confessions. The author shows Vico to be not only the founder of the philosophy of history, but also the originator of a philosophical art of self-narrative which is the response by a modern thinker to the ancient problem of self-knowledge.

Download or read book Power of Art written by John M. Warbeke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Power of Art This book (now published posthumously) is the fruit of my husband's lifelong interest in the arts and his belief in their dynamic power to mold the character of peoples and civilizations. He had a deep conviction that greater emphasis on the arts and aesthetic qualities in our homes, our schools, our churches and other institutions of everyday life might well lead us to a new Golden Age. A short time before his death last summer he committed to my care the manuscript, which he had completed except for the final checking and editing. In its preparation for publication I have received invaluable help from many friends. Among those who read portions of the proof and assisted in checking data were Professors D.Foster, M.Hayes, R.W. Holmes and Mrs. Louise Holmes, K.M. Lynch, F.D. Reed, A. L.Snell, A.G. Stokey, and L.S. Stevenson - all of Mount Holyoke College; also Professor F.Saunders of Harvard University and my cousin. Colonel A.S. Meek. Professor Frederick H.Cramer, Mrs. Elizabeth Cramer and Professor Ellen D.Ellis of Mount Holyoke College gave most generously of their valuable time and labor in reading the various sets of proofs, in large part or in their entirety, and in tracking down those elusive A.A.s and typographical curiosities (which seem to spring up overnight like toadstools to surprise and confound one). To them I am also deeply indebted for many valuable and constructive suggestions, I should like to express my appreciation for various kinds of help to Mr. Whitney Darrow and Dr. Henry Goddard Leach (Princeton classmates of my husband); to Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Cromwell of New York; to Miss Flora Belle Ludington, Librarian at Mount Holyoke College, and Miss W.D. Stephens of Philadelphia; also to Mrs. Joseph Ledden and Miss Grace Perkinson. Professor Roger Holmes most kindly consented to perform the arduous task of making the index, for which I am deeply grateful.

Book Synopsis Hints from Horace by : Lord Lord Byron
Download or read book Hints from Horace written by Lord Lord Byron and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byron was an English poet and a leading figure in the Romantic movement. Among Byron's best-known works are the lengthy narrative poems Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and the short lyric She Walks in Beauty. Byron is regarded as one of the greatest British poets, and remains widely read and influential. He travelled widely across Europe, especially in Italy where he lived for seven years. Later in life, Byron joined the Greek War of Independence fighting the Ottoman Empire, for which many Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died one year later at age 36 from a fever contracted while in Messolonghi in Greece. Often described as the most flamboyant and notorious of the major Romantics, Byron was both celebrated and castigated in life for his aristocratic excesses, including huge debts, numerous love affairs with people of both sexes, rumours of a scandalous liaison with his half-sister, and self-imposed exile.
