The Roosevelt Lectures of Paul Shorey (1913-1914)

Translated from the German into English with Annotations by Edgar C. Reinke. Introduction by E. Christian Kopff. Edited by Ward W. Briggs and E. Christian Kopff.

Invited to Berlin, the prominent Classical Philologist portrayed American culture (as a conservative cake with liberal icing on it), scientific life, society, philosophy and literature in his lectures, and addressed Aristotle's De Anima in a seminar. Furthermore, this volume provides Shorey's Vienna Lecture "National Culture and Classical Education" (May 1914), and in the appendices three more of his texts (a letter, a report and a journal contribution).
