Education of Humanities

Paper Summary:

The paper relates that the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes, when asked where he came from, would simply reply, "I am a citizen of the world." The paper explains that this phrase could contain the meaning of the Humanities in a microcosm. The Humanities were born out of the search for universal ideals that would unite humanity in a positive way. The paper explains that those that would consider themselves educators in this field have serious responsibilities indeed.

From the Paper:

"The models that we build contemporary education on are not new, or even old. They are ancient and have evolved from Ancient Greek society. The origin of the Humanities as an instrument of education in the ancient world doesn't mean their meaning or use has changed."
