  Werner Jaeger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Werner Jaeger (July 30, 1888 - October 9, 1961) was a classicist of the 20th century.
Only 26 years old and without habilitation, Jaeger was called on that basis to a professorship with chair at the University of Basel in Switzerland.
Jaeger remained in Berlin until 1936, when he emigrated to the United States because he was unhappy with Hitler's regime.

To mention (2-3) that Jaeger had an early patroness, that when he married ``Now she was replaced,'' and then to note that the patroness was never again mentioned (as though we were privy to every letter and conversation Jaeger had) seems to be encouraging malicious inference.
Jaeger was about fifty when he got here, a difficult time for a man to start over and make for himself the kind of role he had in Germany, especially when his first book had made him, as Renehan notes, a `star' in his youth.
Jaeger, he declares, makes a distinction between what he labels historicism, on the one hand, which is a study of the whole of antiquity in all of its material ramifications, and what he labels philology, on the other, which is more particularly concerned with values.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 3.5.2
Apart from Chambers' discussion of Jaeger's Thucydides which is exceptionally bland because it does not seem to have been written from any point of view (the fact that Jaeger calls Pericles Führer goes nowhere), there is something to learn from them all.
Certainly Jaeger believed in a kind of racial purity, believed in the manipulation of the masses through education, believed in elitism, and as Näf says, believed in a monumental past.
Critics note that Jaeger continued to publish Paideia in Germany during the war years, but it seems to me that this represents both the futile effort of the man to teach his misguided countrymen and his pitiful acknowledgement that he had really no other country in which to be effective.

 International Catholic University: 19. 2
Jaeger's hypothesis is that the early and late are jumbled together and only painstaking scholarship will be able to expose the almost geological layers which represent the development of Aristotle's thought.
In the case of the Metaphysics, this progression is seen, Jaeger maintains, in two conflicting notions of what the science Aristotle is seeking is. On the one hand, there is an earlier, platonic conception of the science according to which divine things or separated substances are the subject matter of the science: it is theology.
In the wake of Jaeger's books there followed an incredible fleet of alternatives, modifications, rivals, studies in which the notion that Aristotle's development is the key to reading the treatises and that in terms of that putative development one can array the works chronologically, arrays the contents of a given treatise chronologically and so on.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 96.7.14
Jaeger and others in the field of classical studies felt that a renewal of values could be effected by a proper appreciation of the achievements of classical Greece.
Jaeger founded a series of monographs and two new journals, while issuing programmatic statements at scholarly conferences, most notably, the Naumburg colloquium in 1930, where Jaeger, Wolfgang Schadewaldt, Paul Friedlaender, Eduard Fraenkel, and others delivered papers typifying the new outlook.
Jaeger tried to accommodate his idealized view of the world of the Greek polis, in which the individual subordinated himself to the greater good of the state, to National Socialist political ideology in "Die Erziehung des politischen Menschen und die Antike," published just after Hitler became chancellor in 1933.

The paucity of knowledge in depth of the classical philosophers and tragedians is the main reason that Christian apologists today are loosing ground and are unable to win over the younger, better educated laity.
She said: "The ancient Greeks may have had their heads in the clouds but their feet were firmly planted on the ground." She meant, of course, that though their goals and dreams may have seemed impossible, they possessed the enthusiasm, daring, and practical ingenuity to make many of them come true.
Just such a mind was that of Werner Jaeger's, the world-renowned Harvard classicist and scholar, who asked: "[H]ad the headway made in history by the Greek mind been achieved independently of the educational plan of divine providence?" (34 f).

 The Astral Body: Historical Studies (Part 2 of 8)
Jaeger shows that during his association with the Academy Aristotle accepted and taught the Platonic doctrines of individual immortality, of pre-existence and reminiscence.
His views, Jaeger thinks, were largely Platonic almost until the time of the death of his teacher.
Jaeger is at pains to correct the view that the idea of the entelechy grew in Aristotle's mind from his studies of nature, as some scientists might prefer to think.

It was along this way of philosophical discussion based on mutual esteem that Greek culture really influenced the church and through it secured its own survival.
Jaeger shows how this happened historically, joining Gregory of Nyssa with Erasmus across the centuries.

It provides a superb overview of the vast historical process by which Christianity was Hellenized and Hellenic civilization became Christianized.
Jaeger shows that without the large postclassical expansion of Greek culture the rise of a Christian world religion would have been impossible.
He explains why the Hellenization of Christianity was necessary in apostolic and postapostalic times; points out similarities between Greek philosophy and Christian belief; discuss such key figures as Clement, Origen, and Gregory of Nyssa; and touches on the controversies that led to the ultimate complex synthesis of Greek and Christian thought.

 In Bronze for Posterity
A bust of Werner Jaeger (1888-1961) presides over the common room of Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, D.C. He is comfortably housed in a place “designed to rediscover the humanism of the Hellenic Greeks.” The bust, done in Berlin, is by “Puppi” Sarre, says a Jaeger family member, and is signed “ML.”
He was hailed by academe as the great Aristotelian of his time, and the general reader might have known him as the author of Paideia, a three-volume work on Greek thought from Homer to Demosthenes.
The Center for Hellenic Studies was founded in 1961, the year Jaeger died, with a grant from what would become the Mellon Foundation, on six and a half acres in Georgetown given by Marie Beale in memory of her son, Walker B. Beale ’18.

This may be due to the fact that these works were not, in most cases, published by Aristotle himself or during his lifetime, but were edited after his death from unfinished manuscripts.
Until Werner Jaeger (1912) it was assumed that Aristotle's writings presented a systematic account of his views.
Jaeger argues for an early, middle and late period (genetic approach), where the early period follows Plato's theory of forms and soul, the middle rejects Plato, and the later period (which includes most of his treatises) is more empirically oriented.

Paideia: the Ideals of Greek Culture by Werner Jaeger (Gilbert Highet, trans., 3 vols., 2nd ed., New York: Oxford University Press, 1945) is a work of lasting value for the study of ancient Greek educational thought.
But Jaeger reified his ideas about andquot;the Greek mindandquot; and dehumanized education in his magisterial history by defining it as a self-subsistent force, andquot;education is the process by which a community preserves and transmits its physical and intellectual character.
Lawrence A. Cremin was more circumspect in his 3 volume American Education in which he would andquot;view education as the deliberate, systematic, and sustained effort to transmit or evoke knowledge, attitudes, values, skills, and sensibilities.

In the book under review the author re-examines critically existing hypotheses concerning the relationship between Aristotle's extant, unpublished works (the Corpus Aristotelicum) and his lost dialogues, and he proposes a new theory to account for the latter's disappearance.
Werner Jaeger argued that the lost dialogues belonged to the early, `metaphysical' stages of Aristotle's development during which he was still very much influenced by Plato, and that only his extant lectures, the Corpus Aristotelicum, represent his own, mature philosophy.
