This lecture gave some light on fundamental aspects of the Spartan existence, culture, organisation and self-comprehension to first gather better understanding. What were the human values motivating this people and what can we today practically apply in our modern context? Amongst others, we looked at the value of initiation into the society and at the inner development necessary to become a warrior. Within a modern context, this can help us to become an active citizen taking responsibility for oneself and the entire society.
