"Greek Thinkers and Modern Thought" will be the subject of the eight lectures to be given in Hanover by Dr. Paul Shorey of the University of Chicago during the 1923 alumni lectureship period beginning June 20.
The subjects of the individual lectures will be: (1) "Ancient Culture and the Periods of Greek and Roman Literature" ; (2) "Religious Ideas of the Ancients"; (3) "Science and Philosophy"; (4) "Science and Philosophy" (continued) (5) "Ethical Ideas and Criticism of Life"; (6) "Political Ideas and Criticism of Life"; (7) "Psychology and Criticism of Life"; (8) "Aesthetic Criticism and Criticism of Life."
Dr. Shorey describes this series of lectures as "not intended to be a systematic outline of the history of Greek philosophy, but an attempt to determine just how far the ancients went by a comparison of their best thoughts with corresponding modern ideas."
The subjects for the lectures to be given by Professor Graham Wallas of the University of London, who will be Dr. Shorey's associate in this year's lectureships have not yet been announced.
