You're right that Junior and Senior classes then learn more and stop worshipping just at the feet of Greek and Roman statues. That's a good thing. Education is more than these two cultures ad nauseam.
- kragen 5y agoThank you for the correction! Dante's not Classical but Aristotle sure is.
- groby_b 5y agoOK, if you define classical as greco-roman, fine, I'll take Dante off :) Point still stands, it's a decent overview, and I'd really like college students to go for breadth, not depth. You want to deep-dive, go get a PhD. (Or read on your own, it's cheaper that way ;)
