Applied Classics: Comparisons, Constructs, Controversies

by Angelos Chaniotis (Editor), Annika B. Kuhn (Editor), Christina Kuhn (Editor)

This volume assembles 15 essays (11 in English, 4 in German), which reflect on the diverse and changing ways in which themes and phenomena of classical antiquity were, have been, or should be, integrated into areas beyond in the study of political phenomena such as modern democracy and European integration; in the critical assessment of a historical period such as the Ancien Régime in France; in the shaping of a civil society in Germany at the time of the Enlightenment and in the formative phase of the United States; in the process of state formation in modern Greece and nineteenth-century Germany; in times of war and crisis; in education, science, or popular culture.
