Więcej o książce

The book explores the historical complacency within the field of Classics, linking it to contemporary academic attitudes. It critiques Simon Blackburn's view of complacency as a vice, particularly highlighting how Classicists once held a dominant position in academia, believing their studies were foundational to all learning. The author examines the shift from Classics to empirical disciplines, questioning the implications of this transition for current academic practices and the broader ethical and political complacency observed today.
