¿Por qué estudiamos latín?

Abstract

Classical defense of Latin studies is based on varied predicaments, not all of them well grounded. There is, for example, the argument that holds that “Latin teaches to think”, or that which exaggerates practical benefit of Latin and synthesizes in it all the virtues of knowing it. A sound apology of the study of Latin, free from excesses and inadequacies can only arise from a solid and mature acceptance of the ideals of Humanismand from a clear understanding of the true intellectual tasks reserved for the humanities
