One of the leading scholars of ancient thought, Benardete here reflects on both the people he knew and the topics that fascinated him throughout his career in a series of candid, freewheeling conversations with Robert Berman, Ronna Burger, and Michael Davis. The first part of the book discloses vignettes about fellow students, colleagues, and acquaintances of Benardete's who later became major figures in the academic and intellectual life of twentieth-century America. We glimpse the student days of Allan Bloom, Stanley Rosen, George Steiner, and we discover the life of the mind as lived by well-known scholars such as David Grene, Jacob Klein, and Benardete's mentor Leo Strauss. We also encounter a number of other learned, devoted, and sometimes eccentric luminaries, including T.S. Eliot, James Baldwin, Werner Jaeger, John Davidson Beazley, and Willard Quine. In the book's second part, Benardete reflects on his own intellectual growth and on his ever-evolving understanding of the texts and ideas he spent a lifetime studying. Revisiting some of his recurrent themes-among them eros and the beautiful, the city and the law, and the gods and the human soul-Benardete shares his views on thinkers such as Plato, Homer, and Heidegger, as well as the relations between philosophy and science and between Christianity and ancient Roman thought. Engaging and informative, Encounters and Reflections brings Benardete's thought to life to enlighten and inspire a new generation of thinkers.ClassicistsUnited StatesInterviewsClassical philologyStudy and teachingUnited StatesPhilosophy, AncientStudy and teachingUnited StatesPhilosophy teachersUnited StatesInterviewsCollege teachersUnited StatesInterviewsClassicistsClassical philologyStudy and teachingPhilosophy, AncientStudy and teachingPhilosophy teachersCollege teachers880.9Benardete Seth487149Burger Ronna1947-153577MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953156103321Encounters & reflections4353884UNINA03573nam 2200697 a 450 991095429780332120250728103748.01-282-26769-897866122676970-8213-8003-610.1596/978-0-8213-8002-4(CKB)1000000000805906(EBL)476173(OCoLC)454516937(SSID)ssj0000085811(PQKBManifestationID)11111365(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000085811(PQKBWorkID)10024817(PQKB)11067445(MiAaPQ)EBC476173(Au-PeEL)EBL476173(CaPaEBR)ebr10369801(CaONFJC)MIL226769(The World Bank)ocn377807935(US-djbf)15920638(EXLCZ)99100000000080590620090924d2009 uf 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierChanging the trajectory education and training for youth in Democratic Republic of Congo /Sajitha Bashir1st ed.Washington, D.C.
