    7 & 8 Polis Institute

    The document discusses the potential for the Polis Jerusalem Institute of Languages and Humanities to study and teach Western cultural sources through ancient languages. It notes that much of the medical works of Galen and other ancient/medieval sources are untranslated, representing an inaccessible inheritance. It proposes that the Polis Institute could help address this by offering courses in ancient languages like Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic. This would allow students to directly access important foundational cultural texts and help address the modern inability to understand Western spiritual heritage.
