Latein und Griechisch im 21. Jahrhundert

How dead are Latin and Greek? Is it worthwhile for students of medicine or law to engage with the ancient languages in their original form? What remains of the study of Greek and Roman literature if there is no time to learn the languages? Understanding medical terminology or the literary heritage in the new philologies, the ability to formulate precisely and read accurately, the expansion of the canon through many yet unpublished neo-Latin texts, and the strengthening of national self-awareness through the revival of ancient languages in the education system - these are just a few topics that are presented in 23 contributions as doubts, expectations, or hopes regarding Classical Philology. Originating from a study day on the so-called small subjects, this volume brings together perspectives from non-university work areas, neighboring disciplines, and institutes of Classical Philology from 8 European countries.
