The Immortal Profession

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Twenty-five years after the publication of his bestseller The Art of Teaching, the noted critic and classical scholar Gilbert Highet returns with this wide-ranging collection of talks and essays on the pleasures of scholarship, learning, and above all, teaching.

"The chief aim of education, is to show you, after you make a livelihood, how to enjoy living; and you can live longest and best and most rewardingly by attaining and preserving the happiness of learning."

Highet also explores the distinction between technological progress and intellectual growth; the essential character of a liberally educated teacher; the demands of a scholarly life; how to grow older gracefully and effectively while one's students grow taller and younger; and the challenges of communicating with preoccupied young minds.

Format: Paperback

Publisher: Weybright and Talley

Release: May 14, 1976
