      factcheck: true Germans were justly proud of speaking Greek as well as other educated Europeans spoke Latinhttps://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1046628265455226881 …

      Bronze Age Pervert @bronzeagemantis
      8/ The Germans in the 19th Century considered themselves spiritual and maybe even physical descendants of the Hellenes. Before German unity, the Hellenic ideal was felt even to be reflected in the political arrangement of the German states, and of every aspect of the culture

      But I’m not sure whether helpful to ignore an even earlier tradition of very important Dutch and English Greek scholarship (that didn’t end in the same place)

      Dutch (and to some extent, French) classicists became obsessed with reconstructing authentic Hellenistic philosophical texts

      However, the desire to prove these schools were relevant/true started to get in the way of actual scholarship (virtue of later German work was patience and curiosity)

      The English had some phenomenal philological talent c. 1550-1700; but most of it went into theology and related metaphysical issues: esp. revival of neoplatonism

      Far from being an obscure waste of time, neoplatonism was the basis for a century of English intellectual dominance in physics, psychology, and aesthetics

      Locke and Newton were not exactly neo-platonists in this sense... but all their major supporters were

      Locke’s ideal of a perfect classical education was apparently tried twice. The second time = JS Mill. The first time, the result was far grislier

      The bullying of the Church of England by a 17th c baptist-papist alliance left a shell in the 18th c, and so a diminished audience for Greek/Latin works

          Nietzsche, Hölderlin both started out destined for the ministry - no way that would have led to Greek fluency in teens in UK (tho c. 1600 it could have - it did for Hobbes)
