If you want to study ancient philosophy if you need to know Latin, and preferably a little Greek. [\u2026] I believe that my biggest long-term contribution to the field will be my collection of unpublished Greek and Latin texts. Theories start to become outdated after a few decades, but a good printed edition of something can be of use for at least 100 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year also saw a KU professor, Erik A Nielsen, of the Department for Nordic Studies and Languages, receive the Gad Rausing Prize.
