description Adamantios Koraïs was a cosmopolitan scholar of the age of the Enlightenment, who translated, commented and published numerous ancient texts, among other works. Koraïs thinks that education is the key for the well being of a person and of a nation.

It is possible that Koraïs ideas present still some interest today, for any human being who desires a happy life.
