Dimitris Liantinis (Greek: Δημήτρης Λιαντίνης, also transliterated as ''Dimitris Liadinis''; born 23 July 1942, disappeared 1 June 1998) was a Greek philosopher, writer and Associate Professor at the Department of Pedagogy of the Faculty of Philosophy, Pedagogy and Psychology of the University of Athens, teaching the course "Philosophy of Education and Teaching of Greek Language and Literature".〔(Biography at Liantinis.org )〕 He has written 9 books. His last and most seminal work ''Gemma'' (''Γκέμμα'') has been translated into several languages. A great lover of Ancient Greek culture, he devoted his life in studying and reinterpreting their cultural heritage. He wrote about various subjects like morality and death. He emphasised the need of incorporating the Ancient Greek ideas and morals into the modern Greek education system and also held explicit views on the decline of western culture. He has achieved popularity in Greece because of his strange and unexplained disappearance in the morning of 1 June 1998 at the age of 56 years. It is thought that he committed suicide in 1998 on the mountains of Taygetos. His last university lecture was delivered on 27 May 1998. In his letter to his family he wrote "I go away by my own will. I disappear standing, strong, and proud."〔(The Last letter )〕 An online resource (www.liantinis.gr) written and managed by his wife Professor Nikolitsa Georgopoulou contains letters to her, manuscripts, un-edited texts and critical comments for his books. == Life and work == Liantinis was born in the Laconian village of Liantina (Λιαντίνα) as Demetrios Nikolakakos (Νικολακάκος). He later changed his name to Liantinis to honour his village. He graduated in 1966 from the University of Athens curriculum of Philosophy and worked as a teacher. He moved to Munich in 1970 to study the German language, where he remained until 1972 while at the same time teaching at the Greek school of Otto Gesellschaft. From 1975 to 1988 he was a lecturer and later professor in the National and Kapodestrian University of Athens. He was the author of nine books, principally on philosophy and education and has translated Friedrich Nietzsche's ''Ecce Homo'' in the Greek language. In 1973 he married philosophy professor Nicolitsa Georgopoulou from whom he had a daughter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dimitris Liantinis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
