Η αρχαιολογία σήμερα: Αγγελική Κοτταρίδη at TEDxAcademy





Πέρα από το κυνήγι του θησαυρού και τις συναρπαστικές περιπέτειες o Indiana Jones, ποιος είναι ο ρόλος της αρχαιολογίας σήμερα; Μπορεί η γνώση του παρελθόντος μας βοηθήσει στην κατανόηση το παρόντος και το φωτίσει το δρόμο στο μέλλον; Και αν αυτό ισχύει, πώς μπορούν οι πολυεπίπεδες ανακαλύψεις και τα συμπεράσματα της επιστημονικής έρευνας γίνουν κοινή κτήμα;

The Hero in Ancient Greek Civilization: a free lectures series at Harvard University

Gregory Nagy, PhD, Francis Jones Professor of Classical Greek Literature, Professor of Comparative Literature, and Director of the Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University
Kevin McGrath, PhD, Associate in Sanskrit and Indian Studies, Harvard University
The true “hero” of this ancient Greek literature course is the logos, or word, of logical reasoning, as activated by Socratic dialogue. The logos of dialogue requires careful thinking, realized in close reading and reflective writing. The last “word” read in the course comes from Plato’s memories of the last days of Socrates. These memories depend on a thorough understanding of concepts of the hero in all their varieties throughout the history of Greek civilization and beyond. This course is driven by a sequence of dialogues that lead to such an understanding, guiding the attentive reader through some of the major works of the ancient Greek classics, from Homer to Plato.
