Beginning with the briefest reference to the state of higher education today, this paper overviews moral and philosophical concepts of and disposition to education in ancient Greece from the works of Plato and Aristotle, takes a summary view of the subjects taught, sums up the subject content of liberal arts and the principles of rhetoric. The author assumes that even if a dedicated return to the classical ideals may never happen in higher education today, a few concrete ideas might be helpful. With reference to concrete works of classical authors, a suggestion is made to stop never-ending reforms in universities, to recover the teaching of such subjects as style in language and literature programmes, to renew the subjects of history, philosophy and logic and to introduce memory-based learning while paying tribute to classical antiquity and regaining local traditions.

The Subject

The topic of patriotic consciousness and patriotic education today claims to the status of a nationwide idea, so the research interest in this issue is unusually high. The study of patriotic consciousness should begin with an analysis of the subject which the patriotic feelings of citizens are directed on. This subject is the motherland and its image in the minds of citizens. The article gives an overview of the data, which is used for the semantic deferential method «Image of Motherland» and the procedure of studying of the image of the Motherland based on this method. The sample was 165 respondents. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that the use of this methodology is a tool, which lets us to determine social ideas about the image of the Motherland. It has been proved that the image of the Motherland in consciousness reflects the ideas about the country and the state in which the respondents were born and raised, it is not associated with a so-called “Small homeland”, but with a certain commonality of territory, nature and culture. There is reason to believe that the image of the Motherland in the human mind can be viewed as an image “for oneself” and an image “for others”: in the first case, the Motherland is perceived as big and strong, interesting for life and comfortable, simple and cultural; Motherland “for others” is bold and friendly, strong and kind.

In classical antiquity, thinkers like Aristotle regarded hatred, unlike envy, as a moral emotion, elicited by the perception of vice. Nevertheless, hatred might be taken to irrational extremes (there are occasional expressions of hatred of all women, for example), and antagonisms between ethnic groups (as in Sparta or Alexandria) or social classes (in many Greek city states) could lead to open conflict or civil war. Classical states had few resources to inhibit or control such hatreds. One significant development in this direction, however, was the amnesty decreed in Athens to heal the wounds of the civil strife that broke out after Athens’ defeat in the Peloponnesian War.

Technological innovation and new economic terrain of the twenty-first century has called for higher education to re-examine how interdisciplinary ethnic studies and minority serving programs are positioned in the twenty-first century. This essay considers the utility of spaces like Black Studies departments and programs like the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship within the structure of Liberal Arts education today from the vantage a recent graduate. In the wake increasing hostility towards minority students and unfavorable media coverage of incidents on campus, colleges and universities must consider how rolling back minority focused academic and programmatic offerings alongside dramatic increases in contingent faculty and administrative staff hiring has left cultural voids. As Liberal Arts educators grapple with narrowing budget constraints and changing campus climates, the call for higher education employees who understand why disciplinary and programmatic offerings are tied to campus climate and how to use such resources grows louder. Scholar Administrators, in their ability to straddle the historically divisive line between faculty and staff, can help usher in a type of diversity that allows each student, faculty, and staff person to bear witness to the humanity in others, which ultimately is the heavy lifting of diversity.

The Impact

This chapter provides insights into the state of racial inequality in the US today, with a particular eye on income, wealth, jobs, and education disparities. Do these factors continue to be predicted by race? If they do not, then there really is no need to consider race when making policy at the national and state levels or in higher education. The discussions over affirmative action and how it should be implemented would be moot. This chapter also provides an examination of the impact of education in general and in particular for minorities. We look at how the elimination of affirmative action at the state level has affected enrollment of minorities in higher education. We then provide a look at the history of affirmative action related to higher education in the courts. As such, we offer a detailed synopsis of past court cases that have set the stage for how affirmative action is viewed and used in higher education today. In this light, we discuss the ever-present and surprisingly controversial notion of diversity and how it shapes the affirmative action landscape. We end the chapter by discussing our methodological and analytical strategies for the remaining portion of the book.

The article deals with the issue of periodization of the process of teacher training of Ukrainian language and literature in the national scientific and pedagogical discourse. The formation of a modern system of higher pedagogical education takes place in conditions of significant renewal of its conceptual foundations for the national direction, increasing the importance of the Ukrainian language as the state language at all levels of the educational process. The state progress of the Ukrainian language increases the attention to the issue of training teachers of Ukrainian language and literature in view of the latest requirements facing domestic teachers and which need to be correlated with existing pedagogical experience. The leading approaches of modern scientists to the development of the problem of training teachers of Ukrainian language and literature in higher pedagogical institutions of Ukraine are identified and characterized, the author's periodization of the research problem is presented. The assumption is made about the possibility of isolation in a certain process of a number of periods: 1945-1958 biennium – ideological basis (approval of conceptual bases of cultural (including linguistic and educational) policy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its strengthening in the system of higher pedagogical education); 1959-1991 – organizational and administrative (creation of a system of higher pedagogical education, which would meet the demands of the society for the preparation of teachers, in particular Ukrainian language and literature); 1991-2019 – transformation and modernization (transition from the restructuring of the post-Soviet higher education system to the creation of a modern flexible higher education system). Focused on the purpose and content of education of future teachers of Ukrainian language and literature, as this issue had a political context due to the connection with the language policy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics towards Ukraine. Key words: teacher training, periodization, teacher of Ukrainian language and literature, history of pedagogy, language policy

The discourse of crisis has once again come into play in the field of education, and schools are once more the subject of an intense national debate. In the recent past, discussion has centered on whether schools can be the central institution for achieving racial and sexual equality; whether higher education in the traditional liberal arts curricula are still “relevant” to a changing labor market; whether the authoritarian classroom stifles the creativity of young children; or, conversely how permissiveness has resulted in a general lowering of educational achievement. All of these issues are still with us, but they have been subsumed under a much larger question: how to make the school curricula adequate to a changing economic, political and ideological environment?

Ancient Slavery

Summary This article examines the long feud between ancient historians Moses Finley and Joseph Vogt on the subject of ancient slavery. Their enmity has often been attributed to differences in character or in political views. However, it is shown here that Finley’s attack was above all directed against the tradition of classical Bildung (the German ideal of self-cultivation) and against the corresponding philosophy of history that informed Vogt’s work. Because the philosophy of Bildung presupposed a linear and exclusive connection between ancient Greece and modern Germany, Finley argued that it was easily turned into an ideological weapon, most fatally so in Nazi Germany. At a time when the alt-right’s political use of classical antiquity resembles Vogt’s views, Finley’s criticism is not only topical, but it also urges ancient historians to reconsider some of their basic concepts.

Small Liberal Arts Colleges

The authors trace the origins of the key features of U.S. higher education today--the coexistence of small liberal arts colleges and large research universities; the substantial share of enrollment in the public sector; and varying levels of support provided by the states. These features began to materialize soon after 1890 when the ‘knowledge industry’ was subjected to ‘technological shocks’ that increased the value of research to industry and government and led to the proliferation of academic disciplines. The consequence was an increase in the scale and scope of institutions of higher education and a relative expansion of public-sector institutions.
