Renaissance and the Revival of Antiquity

Professor Gray is a world renowned historian with special interests in the history of humanism, political and historical thought and politics in the Renaissance and the Reformation. Professor Gray will discuss the question of how the intellectuals of the early modern period looked to the ancient past and the authority of its great books to reform the education and culture of their own time. However, the 'revival' of antiquity meant interpreting, and reinterpreting, that past in the context of a different era and so inevitably creating new versions of its history and teachings. The talk will focus on exploring this tension between the ideal of revival and its application to contemporary problems and conditions.Hanna H. Gray served as President of the University of Chicago from July 1, 1978, through June 30, 1993. She taught history at the University of Chicago from 1961 to 1972 and now serves as the Harry Pratt Judson Distinguished Service Professor of History in the University of Chicago's Department of History. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGOytSubscribe About #UChicago: Since its founding in 1890, the University of Chicago has been a destination for rigorous inquiry and field-defining research. This transformative academic experience empowers students and scholars to challenge conventional thinking in pursuit of original ideas. #UChicago on the Web: Home: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGO-homepage News: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGO-news Facebook: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGO-FB Twitter: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGO-TW Instagram: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGO-IG University of Chicago on YouTube:    / uchicago   *** ACCESSIBILITY: If you experience any technical difficulties with this video or would like to make an accessibility-related request, please email digicomm@uchicago.edu.
