The education of man has taken a long and winding road since its beginning during the first millennium B.C. Previous to that time, man’s education amounted to little more than learning how to survive, but after urbanization created free time, man began to think about the world around him. Then with the advent of written language, he began to create documents to retain their knowledge. Eventually, formal systems of education evolved when the old aristocratic systems were replaced by modern schools.
How did the Greek educational system evolved and how did it change over time? What influence did the Greeks have on the modern educational systems of today?
We delve into the significant economic shifts unfolding globally, with a focus on the transition from public to private debt. Highlighting the ongoing financial crisis in France, the speaker explains why institutional investors are moving away from government debt to corporate debt. Historical instances, like the Panic of 1907 and the Great Depression, are referenced to demonstrate how past financial crises have shaped current banking systems. The implications of geopolitical tensions, especially sanctions on Russia, and their effects on global economies are discussed. Additionally, the conversation touches on climate policy impacts on European economies and the role of gold as a neutral asset during geopolitical uncertainties.
The third area of influence of the Sophists was rhetoric, the art of speech. In Greece, unlike today, the spoken word reigned supreme over the written word, so rhetoric was seen as essential to politics and performance in the law courts. They not only developed the forms of speech but also a branch of rhetoric known as “inventions” designed to foster original thoughts and ideas.
Dialectics is the ability to argue both sides of a proposition -- a skill needed by politicians who wanted to convince others to support their positions. Protagoras brought dialectics to its classic form when he invented “eristics“, a debating method designed to confuse an opponent by taking points he had already conceded. Marrou calls this a combination of brazen cynical pragmatism and astonishing practical effectiveness.
The historical significance of dialectics is hard to overstate given its influence on the whole of Greek philosophy, science, and culture.
The Odyssey and the Iliad were the first textbooks of Greek education and every child was familiar with them. These hero legends described a society of kings and knights with the knights ordained as the nobility – honored by the king and serving as his warrior class. The education of the knights had two components: technical and moral. Technically, they trained for sport and for war. Athletic games were a way to excel and be recognized when there was no war.
The Sophists obtained new students by giving free “lectures” in public. These talks were pure marketing – attempts to convince any parent listening that his child could benefit from a Sophist education.
Regarding content, they concentrated on three different areas: politics, dialectics, and rhetoric. In the case of the former, Sophist teaching is often referred to has relativistic humanism as expressed in the saying “man is the measure of all things”. The intent was to apply education to real life, acquire knowledge of how to live a political society, and avoid discourse about things that couldn’t be understood, such as the nature of the gods.
