On The Future Of Our Educational Institutions - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche - Bog

""On The Future Of Our Educational Institutions: Homer And Classical Philology"" is a book written by the German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche in 1909. In this book, Nietzsche addresses the state of education in Europe at the time, arguing that it has become too focused on specialization and technical knowledge, neglecting the importance of classical studies and the humanities. Nietzsche argues that the study of classical literature, particularly the works of Homer, is essential for developing a well-rounded education that fosters creativity and critical thinking. He believes that the study of classical philology, the study of language and literature in their historical and cultural contexts, is crucial for understanding the foundations of Western civilization and for developing a deeper appreciation for the arts and humanities. Throughout the book, Nietzsche criticizes the current state of education in Europe, arguing that it is too focused on producing obedient and conformist workers rather than cultivating independent thinkers and creative individuals. He calls for a radical overhaul of the educational system, one that prioritizes the study of classical literature and the humanities, and encourages students to think critically and creatively. ""On The Future Of Our Educational Institutions: Homer And Classical Philology"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges conventional ideas about education and the role of the humanities in modern society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of education and the importance of classical studies in contemporary society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
