>>25207980What is a classical education? I would argue it’s impossible for an autodidact to be classically educated since such learning took place in schools, colleges, universities and academies which are now defunct, superseded, reworked or thoroughly dispossessed of a department for the classics. The environment mattered: being in the classrooms, writing theses, studying in the library, boarding with like-minded people, drinking and smoking and rambling about life and truth in the near-by bars. You’ll never be classically educated on your own: it takes an entire institution. Of course, you could take a degree in the humanities and be lectured by women about women, or by communists about communism, or by homosexuals about homosexuality, or all three about the women, communism and homosexuality of the classics, but you’ll never have a classical education. It is past, gone, evaporated, twisting away in every direction like smoke.
>>25208042Then you're only gay if you DON'T suck dick, and the most anti-gay dick there is to suck (the element which is inverse to a man's own dick) is my own
>>25207980So, in general, most American universities will have some sort of way to find out what classes you need to take/choose to get a particular degree, and most of those classes will have the syllabi available somewhere which should broadly (or very specifically if you're lucky) describe what that class teaches and with what texts. You can then go get those texts yourself and learn basically anything at a university level that isn't highly specialized or hands on. There are also many "great books of western civilization" lists floating around which you can follow.
>>25207980Learn Latin, study Latin grammar, read the classics, and move on to rhetoric and dialectic, the quadrivium; in the meantime, learn Greek as well.There are some online classical education projects that can help, like the Lyceum Institute; search for them and you'll find them.
>>25207980Depends on your definition of “classical education”. If it’s the trivium it’s gonna be difficult. But I think you mean in a broader sense. The old Great Courses lectures have some gems (famously Sugrue’s lectures, available for free on Youtube). Modern Scholar (now defunct) had a similar premise. Their audiobooks can be downloaded, look for the Odyssey of the West there. In general the grand narrative of history will prepare you well for tackling individual reads like Odyssey and Illiad, but there are also courses specifically on them that can help you analyze the content. On the subject of grand narratives a good foundation is knowing your history in a broad outline. Barzun’s Dawn to Decadence, Davies’ Europe a History, MacCulloch’ Christianity are all doorstoppers but still manageable grand histories. The Durant history series is old and sometimes inaccurate but is engaging and covers a lot more over the long volumes (naturally). Graves does a good retelling of the greek myths. Civilisation and Ascent of Man are old documentary series that are also wrong on some of the facts but are in a league of their own compared to modern stuff. It’s also closer to the ethos of the classical education than modern attempts. A history of philosophy will retread some of the ground you’ll cover but look closer at the idea history and broaden what key figures actually said and thought. You might think the Cogito argument is all Descartes had to say from a general history for instance. If you want to give classical languages a stab try latin. It’s closer to what you already know and there’s more and more varied material to work with. Do not use Duolingo type shit that will just spin your wheels. The Cambridge Latin series is very good and practical. Don’t worry too much about the grammar it can kill your enjoyment and you’re not in school to be graded on it. You will also not be speaking or writing it. Focus on comprehension.
