Why Study Ancient Languages and Literature? | Bildung

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805 - 1859) wrote about his journey to the United States, his analysis of democracy, the newly found form of government, and stated his conclusions and predictions about its dynamics and its future. Nearing the end of this classic work, he writes about the importance of studying Ancient languages and literature - mainly Roman and Greek, as they possess many distinct qualities from the literature that is being produced in democratic nations.
