Paideia: The Ideals of Greek Culture: Volume II: In Search of the Divine Center Paperback - 1986 - 2nd Edition
by Werner Jaeger; Gilbert Highet (Translator)
First line
IN 404 B.C., after almost thirty years of war between the Greek states, Athens fell.
From the rear cover
The project of Greek culture in its heroic period was the creation of the perfect state-a goal that seemed within reach in the Athens of the fifth century B.C. But with the fall of Athens that prospect evaporated, and the result, which Werner Jaeger describes in this second volume of his magisterial three-volume study of Hellenism, was the spiritualizing of Greek culture-'the search for the divine centre.' Jaeger traces the growth of this new power in human culture from its early beginnings in the teachings of Socrates, to its natural climax in Plato's Republic.
