Defense Of Classical Education (1916)

""A Defense of Classical Education"" is a book written by Richard Winn Livingstone and originally published in 1916. The book argues in favor of a classical education, which emphasizes the study of Latin, Greek, and the classics. Livingstone argues that a classical education is essential for developing a well-rounded individual who is capable of critical thinking, effective communication, and a deep understanding of history and culture. He also addresses criticisms of classical education, such as its perceived irrelevance in a modern world and its association with elitism. Throughout the book, Livingstone draws on his own experiences as a classical scholar and educator to make a compelling case for the continued importance of classical education. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of education, as well as those interested in the ongoing debate about the role of the classics in modern education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
