Beginning in 1982 philosopher Mortimer Adler led a group of educators and scholars in publishing a trilogy of books on what they called ""Paideia"" educational reform. The first book, The Paideia Proposal, had a profound effect on most of the major reform efforts that followed, and Paideia principles--including the then radical notion that ""all children can learn""--eventually permeated the educational dialogue. Merging the conservative idea of a classical education with progressive ideas about teaching and learning, Paideia educators strive to provide all children with a rigorous and meaning

The Letter of Aristeas has been an object modern scholarly interest since the seventeenth century. It is best known for containing the earliest version of the translation of the Hebrew Law into Greek, and this story accounts for much of the scholarly attention paid to the work. Yet, this legend only takes up a small percentage of the work. Looking at Aristeas as a whole, the work reveals an author who has acquired a Greek education and employs both Jewish and Greek sources in his work, and he has produced a Greek book. Even though Aristeas has garnered scholarly attention, no fully fledged commentary has been written on it. The works of R. Tramontano, M. Hadas and others, often referred to as commentaries, only contain text and annotated notes. This volume fills the gap in the scholarship on Aristeas by providing a full, paragraph-by-paragraph commentary, containing a new translation, text-critical notes, general commentary, and notes on specific words, phrases and ideas.

Die Arbeiten von Werner Jaeger haben vor etwa hundert Jahren das Studium der Antike prägend und international beeinflusst, insbesondere im Bereich der Geschichte der antiken Wissenschaft und Philosophie, doch bleibt die Figur Jaegers umstritten. Er steht am Ende einer Glanzzeit der Philologie an der Berliner Universität und erlangte früh internationale Anerkennung sowie enormen Einfluss. Sowohl sein wissenschaftliches Werk als auch seine Paideia wurden stark rezipiert, letztere sogar in viele Sprachen übersetzt. In bemerkenswertem Gegensatz zu diesem frühen Glanz stehen die späteren Jahre seines Schaffens, in denen er trotz prominenter Stellung an der Harvard University nur relativ schwach nachwirkte. Das Ziel ist, zu differenzierten Urteilen über die durchaus gemischte Bilanz von Jaegers Werk und Wirken zu kommen. Seine wissenschafts- und philosophiehistorischen Leistungen sowie sein Agieren im bildungspolitischen Kontext seiner Zeit werden eingeordnet und kritisch untersucht. This book contains contributions by several different leading scholars on the foundational work of Werner Jaeger (1888–1961) for the study of the history of ancient philosophy, science, and religion. It also includes a critical reappraisal of Jaeger's role as a public intellectual in the 1930s.

In the World of the Second Sophistic, education, paideia, was a crucial factor in the discourse of power. Knowledge in the fields of medicine, history, philosophy, and poetry joined with rhetorical brilliance and a presentable manner became the outward appearance of the elite of the Eastern Roman Empire. This outward appearance guaranteed a high social status as well as political and economical power for the individual and major advantages for their hometowns in interpolis competition. Since paideia was related particularly to Classical Greek antiquity, it was, at the same time, fundamental to the new self-confidence of the Greek East. This book presents, for the first time, studies from a broad range of disciplines on various fields of life and on different media, in which this ideology became manifest. These contributions show that the Sophists and their texts were only the most prominent exponents of a system of thoughts and values structuring the life of the elite in general.

Despite the impressive strides made in the past century in the understanding of Second Temple Jewish history and the strong scholarly interest in paideia within ancient Greek, Hellenistic, Roman, and late antique Christian cultures, the nature of Jewish paideia during the period has, until recently, received surprisingly little attention. The essays collected here were first offered for discussion at the Fifth Enoch Seminar Nangeroni Meeting, held in Naples, Italy, from June 30 – July 4, 2015, the purpose of which was to gain greater insight into the diversity of views of Jewish education during the period, both in Judea and Diaspora communities, by viewing them in light of their contemporary Greco-Roman backgrounds and Ancient Near Eastern influences. Together, they represent the broad array of approaches and specialties required to comprehend this complex and multi-faceted subject, and they demonstrate the fundamental importance of the topic for a fuller understanding of the period. The volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars of the history and culture of the Jewish people during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, ancient education, and Greek and Roman history.
