This essay is to honor a wonderful colleague and friend over many years at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It is an ode that moves between poles of friendship and the academic. I being with two stories about Andy, alias Andreas; or is it the other way around? One could spend time with the Greek persona, aka Andreas, or one could engage with the American side, aka Andy. I gravitate toward “Andy,” as the name “Andy” has an endearing quality with my American sensibility, while Andreas appears as too formal for the American part of me. The personal moves easily into Andy’s academic achievements. In many ways, his intellectual curiosity and professional identity are a mode of living. First, to my stories. The first is the beginning of the world as we know it! Civilization begins with Greece, with human dignity and our destiny following the paths provided through the virtues of Paideia. All academic work that is serious begins with this origin story. When I talk with Andreas (the Greek part), I know this is where we start our conversation! I will joke about it with him, yet at the same time recognize it is a serious gesture about how to think about the obligations and responsibilities of academic work and educational research. The return to Greek literature and ideas is to continually remind us of the serious philosophical questions and historical understandings that require increased vigilance in the present, where the technical and the instrumental seem to overtake us. I return to this theme a bit later. The second story is “pure” Andy (the American part). If you want to talk with Andy, even if the world is on fire or some catastrophe is happening, it cannot be on an America football weekend. If the University of Wisconsin football team (“the Badgers”) or the Wisconsin’s professional football team, the Green Bay Packers, are playing, Andy disappears in front of the television, not too emerge until games are finished. And I hope the local teams won, to catch him in a good mood. Andy is the most Americanized sport junkie (from Cyprus) that I know. The origin of the world in its Greek heritage and the Sunday disappearance to watch American football serve as an exemplar right out of classic postmodern theories about the complexities of identity. Who will you meet? Andreas, Andy, or both? Fluid and mobile identities navigate seamlessly in him. Without any hesitation, Andreas/Andy moves easily between his past/present Greek heritage and his adopted (first and second) homeland of America (more adequately, the Madison Midwest). It is though his life resembles wearing a T-shirt with imprints on both sides. One is a “Badgers” sports emblem and the other is the image of the Parthenon. I can see Andy sitting on a swivel chair, going back and forth to show the most none defined

人文主义对我们时代很重要

本文是为了表彰威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校多年来出色的同事和朋友。这是在友谊与学术两极之间移动的颂歌。我有两个关于安迪的故事，别名安德里亚斯。或者是周围的其他方式？一个人可以和希腊角色安德烈亚斯共度时光，或者一个可以与美国方面又叫安迪安度日。我趋向于“安迪”，因为“安迪”这个名字具有我美国人的敏锐品质，而安德烈亚斯似乎对我的美国人而言太正式了。个人很容易进入安迪的学术成就。从许多方面来看，他的求知欲和职业身份是一种生活方式。首先，关于我的故事。首先是我们所知道的世界的开始！文明始于希腊，以人类的尊严和我们的命运遵循通过Paideia的美德提供的道路。所有严肃的学术工作都是从这个起源故事开始的。当我与Andreas（希腊语部分）交谈时，我知道这是我们开始对话的地方！我会和他开玩笑，但同时也认识到这是一个认真的姿态，说明如何考虑学术工作和教育研究的义务和责任。回到希腊文学和观念是要不断地使我们想起严肃的哲学问题和历史理解，这些问题和历史理解需要在当前加强警惕，而技术和工具似乎已经超越了我们。我稍后再回到这个主题。第二个故事是“纯”安迪（美国部分）。如果你想和安迪谈谈，即使世界着火或发生一些灾难，也不能在美式足球周末。如果威斯康星大学橄榄球队（“ Bad队”）或威斯康星州的职业橄榄球队绿湾包装工队在比赛，安迪会消失在电视机前，直到比赛结束才出现。我希望当地的球队能赢，让他心情愉快。安迪（Andy）是我认识的美国化程度最高的运动迷（来自塞浦路斯）。希腊起源的世界起源和观看美式足球的周日失踪是典型的关于身份复杂性的后现代理论的典范。你会见谁？安德里亚斯，安迪，或两者兼而有之？流动身份和移动身份在他中无缝导航。毫不犹豫地 安德烈亚斯/安迪在他过去/现在的希腊遗产与他所采用的美国（第一和第二）家乡（更恰当地说，麦迪逊中西部）之间移动很容易。尽管他的生活类似于穿着两面都有印记的T恤。一个是“ Badgers”运动会徽，另一个是帕台农神庙的形象。我可以看到安迪坐在转椅上，来回走动以显示最不确定的东西
