Werner Jaeger's classic three-volume work, originally published in
1939, is now available in paperback. Paideia, the shaping of Greek
character through a union of civilization, tradition, literature,
and philosophy is the basis for Jaeger's evaluation of Hellenic
culture.
Volume I describes the foundation, growth, and crisis of Greek
culture during the archaic and classical epochs, ending with the
collapse of the Athenian empire. The second and third volumes of
the work deal with the intellectual history of ancient Greece in
the Age of Plato, the 4th century B.C.--the age in which Greece
lost everything that is valued in this world--state, power,
liberty--but still clung to the concept of paideia. As its last
great poet, Menander summarized the primary role of this ideal in
Greek culture when he said: "The possession which no one can take
away from man is paideia."
