Current generations are experiencing a sense of crisis as had not been felt for a century. But unlike the geopolitical tensions of the interwar period, today’s crisis is manifold. In the past, common wisdom dictated a return to the lost virtues. The contemporary world is out of joint, and the experience of displacement affects fundamental life categories, such as the security of home, understood both spatially, as the place one belongs to, and temporally, as the time of freedom, which modernity identified with the future. But the future now seems to evaporate or, what is the same, to run off into meaningless dilation.The twenty-first century’s assault on old-world structures and the rise of the network society have induced unprecedented cultural obsolescence. And nothing has been so displaced from the core of modern education as the humanities, which have been uprooted from their foundation in the classics.
