Description

Explore the foundations of Western learning with Higher Education in the Ancient World. Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Education, this volume offers an authoritative survey of Greek and Roman educational systems from the fourth century B.C. onwards. It moves beyond primary schooling to examine the advanced intellectual traditions that shaped civilization. This text provides a deep look into the teaching of philosophy and the development of the liberal arts, with specific focus on grammar and rhetoric. Readers will gain a clear understanding of professional education, school organization, and the specific teaching methods used in antiquity.
