Second of two talks by P. Leon
Professor of Classics at University College, Leicester
The Greek,' Professor Leon says, found the universe a mystery and quickly turned it into a polis.' The Greek mind loved definition and it had a passion for lImits-that was indeed its chief limitation. This Greek method of thought, which derives from the fifth-century Sophists, is the professorial method par excellence; it is also the method of science. It has established a world empire of the mind far greater than Alexander's and yet, Professor Leon argues, it carries with it grave dangers: the danger of over-specialisation and atomisation, of believing that life and truth can be wholly parcelled out into subjects or specialisms.
