What is our shared cultural currency? What use, good or bad, do we make of it? Why should anyone study the Classics? The tyranny of millennial introspection, the urge for instant gratification, the attraction of the cultural cannon, the way writing encloses or even imprisons â" all these themes are brought together in a passionate plea for the Classics as essentially impervious to these vulgar urges of our age â" the Age of Indiscretion. -- REVIEW: "Maurizio Bettini is one of the most original thinkers currently working in the field of Classics. Reading Classical Indiscretions is an unsettling experience --Bettini tickles the intellectual fancy but at the same time raises profound questions about the study of Classics at this millennial moment. This book will intrigue and provoke anyone concerned with the intersection of antiquity and modernity." -- Professor Susanna Morton Braund, Yale University -- TOC: Preface * 1.
