Description

The classical past presents formidable obstacles to anyone who would seek to know it. 'Deep Classics' offers a new way to understand the modalities and aims of Classics itself, through the ages. This volume draws fruitful connections between the reception of the classical and current concerns in various fields, including philosophy, cognitive theory, epistemology, media studies, sense studies, aesthetics, queer theory, and eco-criticism. By exploring these intersections, 'Deep Classics' sheds new light on our encounters with the ancient past and its relevance to our own world. The study of antiquity reveals much about literature, language, art, matter, sensation, experience, and life, as well as our responses to the vestiges of the past that remain.
