About Me

After my studies in music composition and philosophy,

I decided to spend some time on my own studying classical Greek.  What motivated me was a growing unease with the English translations of works of the ancient philosophers that I had so unquestioningly

relied on as a university student. I had already seen how misleading our renderings of concepts could be even with a modern language like German.   How much more must this be the case where an ancient language is concerned, a language spoken by people who inhabited a conceptual world entirely different from our own!   Might not they, with their conceptual framework, have something important to impart to us ? — something that we, for all our undeniable technological progress, have since lost sight of ?
