230K0

The whole book revolves around the word Altertumswissenschaft (classics), a new word invented by German scholars in the 19th century to refer to the study of everything related to the ancient world, and to imagine this study as a whole. The task of classics is to use the power of science to resurrect the lost world. Villamowicz believes that the significance of this resurrection lies in awakening emotions and ideals, and injecting the vitality and vitality of the ancients into the present and future eras.
